Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 232 of the BNS (formerly section 195A IPC) punishes "threatening any person to give false evidence": threatening another with injury to person, reputation or property with intent to make that person give false evidence. Security of witnesses or victims is the wider aim, not the offence the section defines. If an innocent person is convicted and sentenced in consequence of the false evidence to death or imprisonment for more than seven years, the person who threatens is liable to the same punishment.
