Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Clause (c) of section 101 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly clause "Thirdly" of section 300 IPC) makes culpable homicide murder where the act is done with the intention of causing bodily injury and that injury is sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death; intention to cause death is not needed. Clause (a) requires intention to cause death, clause (b) requires intention to cause an injury the offender knows to be likely to cause the death of that person, and clause (d) rests on knowledge that the act is so imminently dangerous that it must in all probability cause death.
