Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Under section 189(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 141 IPC), an assembly of five or more persons is unlawful if its common object is one of those listed, including (clause (c)) to commit any mischief, criminal trespass or other offence. So "an assembly of five or more persons having common object to commit offence" is correct. A common object that is not one of the unlawful objects is not enough, and an assembly of three persons cannot be an unlawful assembly.
