Under Section 12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, sexual harassment of a child can be punished:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Most of the acts listed in section 11, such as uttering a word or gesture, showing a pornographic object, or making a threat, with sexual intent, are complete in themselves and do not require repetition, so sexual harassment under section 12 can be punished even if it happens only once, though the stalking clause of section 11 does itself require repeated conduct.
