Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 77 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 354C IPC) protects a woman engaging in a private act in circumstances where she would usually have the expectation of not being observed. It criminalises specified watching, capturing or dissemination, subject to its explanations. The listed male or other victim categories are not substituted for the woman expressly identified in that offence; the section uses “whoever” for the offender, but the victim remains a woman.
