Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 2(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 33 IPC) provides that the word 'act' denotes as well a series of acts as a single act, and Section 3(4) (formerly Section 32 IPC) provides that words referring to acts done extend also to illegal omissions; reading the two together, 'act' covers a single act, a series of acts and an illegal omission, but not a legal omission, since only an omission that is 'illegal' within Section 2(15) is punishable. Hence the answer is "A, B and C only".
