Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 37(1)(c) of the BNS says there is no right of private defence "in cases in which there is time to have recourse to the protection of the public authorities". Section 36 gives the right even against acts of a child or an insane person that are not offences, so those are not restrictions on it.
