Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Sections 45 and 46 of the BNS cover instigation, qualifying conspiracy and intentional aid as abetment. Mere knowledge does not suffice by itself. Assistance given only after an offence, without earlier instigation, conspiracy or aid, is not thereby abetment of that offence, though a harbouring provision may apply.
