Correct answer C

Section 70(2) BNS provides "Punishment for gang rape of a woman under eighteen years of age", prescribing imprisonment for life meaning the remainder of natural life, with fine, or death. It replaces the separate provisions for gang rape of a woman under sixteen and under twelve years (formerly ss.376DA and 376DB IPC). Rape of a woman under sixteen or under twelve years is punished under Section 65, and causing death or a persistent vegetative state under Section 66.
