Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 11 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 73 IPC) permits up to three months of solitary confinement in the whole when the imprisonment term exceeds one year and the offence permits rigorous imprisonment. Section 12 (formerly section 74 IPC) separately restricts execution: not over 14 days at a time and, where imprisonment exceeds three months, not over seven days in any one month. The question asks the total allowance, not the continuous-spell limit.
