Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 146 BNS (formerly section 374 IPC) deals with unlawful compulsory labour. It punishes unlawfully compelling a person to work against that person's will, with imprisonment up to one year, a fine, or both. The offence therefore focuses on unlawful coercion to labour rather than the distinct acts of buying or selling people or kidnapping.
