Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 23(1) forbids any report or comment on a child from any form of media "without having complete and authentic information" where it may lower the child's reputation or infringe the child's privacy. It thus guards the child's good name and privacy; false complaints are dealt with by section 22, and speedy trial by sections 28 and 35.
