Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 prescribes the punishment for murder, death or imprisonment for life with fine; s.103(2) applies the same to murder by a group of five or more acting on grounds such as race, caste or community, sex, place of birth, language or personal belief. Section 101 is the tempting wrong choice because it defines murder but does not punish it, while s.100 defines culpable homicide and s.104 deals with murder by a life convict. Under the IPC the matching sections were s.300 (definition) and s.302 (punishment).
