Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Theft under s.303(1) BNS (formerly s.378 IPC) requires the dishonest taking of movable property out of another's possession without that person's consent; immovable property cannot be stolen, and taking with consent negates the offence. Hence "(a) and (b)".
