Correct answer A

Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS), Section 23 (formerly Section 85 IPC) deals with the act of a person incapable of judgment by reason of intoxication caused against his will, i.e., involuntary intoxication. The other pairs are incorrectly matched: Basdev v. State of Pepsu (AIR 1956 SC 488) is the landmark Supreme Court decision on voluntary intoxication and intent/knowledge under Section 24 BNS (formerly Section 86 IPC), whereas Section 25 BNS (formerly Section 87 IPC) deals with acts done by consent not intended or known to be likely to cause death or grievous hurt; attempting to commit suicide to compel or restrain the exercise of lawful power is covered under Section 226 BNS, whereas Section 108 BNS (formerly Section 306 IPC) deals with abetment of suicide; and bigamy (marrying again during the lifetime of a husband or wife) is punishable under Section 82 BNS (formerly Section 494 IPC), whereas Section 84 BNS (formerly Section 498 IPC) deals with enticing, taking away, or detaining with criminal intent a married woman.
