Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Rioting under section 191(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 146 IPC) requires force or violence by an unlawful assembly of five or more persons, as defined in section 189(1), or by a member in prosecution of its common object. It need not occur in a public place. Public-place fighting that disturbs public peace is part of the distinct affray definition in section 194(1).
