Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 77 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 354C IPC) addresses watching or capturing an image of a woman performing a private act when she ordinarily expects privacy, and dissemination of such an image. Its explanations define the private act and address dissemination without consent even where capture was permitted. Physical sexual overtures and sexually coloured remarks belong to the sexual-harassment provision (section 75); monitoring her electronic communications belongs to stalking (section 78). Section 77 describes the offender as whoever, so it is not limited to men; the victim described by the provision remains a woman.
