Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 77 of the BNS uses whoever, so the perpetrator need not be a man. It covers watching or capturing a woman's private act where she would usually expect not to be observed, or disseminating such an image. Consent to capture does not authorise dissemination without consent. Physical sexual advances and coloured remarks are addressed by section 75; electronic monitoring is addressed by section 78.
