Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under section 310(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 391 IPC), robbery becomes dacoity when five or more persons conjointly commit or attempt the robbery, counting those present and aiding it. Robbery is therefore the relevant underlying offence. Housebreaking or assault alone does not supply all the elements.
