Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The proviso to section 25A NDPS Act lets the court, "for reasons to be recorded in the judgment, impose a fine exceeding one lakh rupees". It does not raise the ten-year maximum term or provide for cancelling licences; enhanced punishment for repeat offences is dealt with by section 31, which does not double the term.
