Correct answer C

Section 318(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 415 IPC) makes deception the basis of cheating, coupled with the specified fraudulent or dishonest inducement or intentional inducement causing harm. Criminal breach of trust under section 316 requires dishonest misuse of entrusted property; it need not begin with deception. Forgery under section 336 requires making a false document (section 335) with the specified intent, and is not identical to deceiving another person into acting on it.
