Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

A photograph of an original document is secondary evidence of its contents, provided it is proved that the object photographed was the original. Section 58 expressly gives this illustration even where the photograph and original have not been compared. Classification as secondary evidence does not automatically establish admissibility: the statutory conditions for using secondary evidence must also be satisfied.
