Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 25 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 87 IPC) makes consent a defence only for acts not intended, and not known to be likely, to cause death or grievous hurt, so consent does not excuse an act intended to cause either. The answer is therefore "Both consent to cause death and consent to cause grievous hurt". Section 26 separately protects acts done in good faith for a person's benefit with his consent, provided death is not intended.
