Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 379 IPC) "Provides punishment of theft": imprisonment up to three years, or fine, or both, and rigorous imprisonment of not less than one year and up to five years with fine on a second or subsequent conviction. The offence itself is defined in section 303(1), so the options saying that section 303(2) defines theft, alone or together with its punishment, are wrong.
