Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
"Section 110 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023" (formerly Section 107 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) deals with the presumption of continuance of life: when the question is whether a person is alive or dead, and it is shown that he was alive within thirty years, the burden of proving that he is dead is on the person who affirms it. Section 111 (formerly Section 108) deals with a person not heard of for seven years.
