Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 118 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 113B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) concerns the presumption of dowry death. Once the required dowry-related cruelty or harassment soon before the woman’s death is established against the person concerned, the court must raise the statutory presumption. The foundational facts must first be proved; the presumption does not arise merely because a married woman has died.
