Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under Section 303(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly Section 378 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860), whoever, intending to take dishonestly any movable property out of the possession of any person without that person's consent, moves that property in order to such taking, is said to commit theft. Thus, the subject matter of theft must be movable property; immovable property cannot be the subject of theft so long as it remains attached to the earth.
