Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 128 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 defines 'force': a person uses force on another when he causes motion, change of motion or cessation of motion to that person, or to a substance so that it touches that person's body or what he is wearing or carrying. Section 129 is the tempting wrong choice, as it defines 'criminal force', which is force used intentionally without consent to commit an offence or to cause injury, fear or annoyance. Section 130 defines assault and s.138 abduction; s.128 corresponds to IPC s.349.
