Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 107 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 305 IPC) specifically punishes abetment where a child (a person below eighteen years), a person of unsound mind, a delirious person or a person in a state of intoxication commits suicide. Section 108 is the general abetment-of-suicide provision; section 226 punishes an attempt to commit suicide made to compel or restrain a public servant in the discharge of official duty; and section 49 is the general provision punishing abetment where no express provision is made. Completed suicide and legally sufficient abetment are required; the section is not triggered simply by every unconnected interaction with a child.
