Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Under the BNS, dowry death is section 80 (section 85 punishes cruelty to a woman by her husband or his relative); rape is defined in section 63 and punished under section 64 (section 74 is assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty); robbery is section 309; and dacoity is section 310 (section 303 is theft). Only pair (3) is correctly matched, so the pairs not correctly matched are (1), (2) and (4).
