Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 punishes "acts endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India". It takes the place of the sedition offence in section 124A of the IPC, which the Sanhita omits.

Defamation is in section 356 of the Sanhita, and double jeopardy and self-incrimination are protections under Article 20 of the Constitution, not IPC offences.
