Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 138 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 362 IPC) defines abduction as compelling by force, or inducing by any deceitful means, "any person" to go from any place. Unlike kidnapping from lawful guardianship under section 137, it has no age or mental-soundness limits, so it may be committed against a girl under eighteen, a boy under sixteen or a person of unsound mind alike.
