Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 123 of the BNS (formerly section 328 IPC) permits imprisonment of either description. Section 7 (formerly section 60 IPC) allows the court to make the term wholly rigorous, wholly simple, or partly rigorous and partly simple. Any division of the stipulated sentence must still total seven years.
