Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 190 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 149 IPC) creates a specific offence: every member of an unlawful assembly is guilty of an offence committed by any member in prosecution of the common object, or which the members knew was likely to be committed (Nanak Chand v. State of Punjab, 1955). Section 3(5), by contrast, is a rule of evidence and creates no distinct offence. Section 190 is therefore neither merely declaratory nor a rule of evidence.
