Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 4 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 6 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) makes facts relevant when they are so connected with a fact in issue or a relevant fact as to form part of the same transaction, even if they occur at different times or places. The quoted phrase identifies this provision, commonly associated with res gestae. Section 3 supplies the general rule that evidence may be given of facts in issue and relevant facts; sections 5 and 6 concern other connections such as occasion, cause, effect, motive, preparation and conduct.
