Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 116 of the BNS specifies permanent disfiguration of the head or face as one grievous-hurt category. Temporary disfiguration does not satisfy that category, but the injury can still be grievous if another listed ground applies. Loss of sight, permanent impairment of a member's or joint's powers, and fracture or dislocation of bone or tooth are separately listed.
