Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 78 of the BNS (formerly section 354D IPC) defines and punishes stalking, including following a woman and repeatedly contacting or attempting to contact her despite a clear indication of disinterest, or monitoring her use of the internet, email or other electronic communication. Statutory exceptions apply, and a subsequent conviction attracts a higher punishment. Voyeurism, sexual harassment and assault to disrobe are dealt with in sections 77, 75 and 76 respectively.
