Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under s.41 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly s.103 IPC), the right of private defence of property extends to causing death in cases of robbery, house-breaking by night (after sunset and before sunrise), and mischief by fire committed on a dwelling, but simple theft by itself does not justify causing death in defence of property.
