Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 117(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 322 IPC) defines voluntarily causing grievous hurt, and section 117(2) supplies the ordinary punishment. The accused must intend grievous hurt, or know it to be likely, and actually cause grievous hurt. Involuntary injury does not satisfy that definition.
