Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 9 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 11 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) is headed "When facts not otherwise relevant become relevant". It makes relevant facts inconsistent with a fact in issue, such as an alibi, and facts that make a fact in issue highly probable or improbable.

Section 5 covers facts that are the occasion, cause or effect of facts in issue, section 8 things said or done by conspirators, and section 12 facts showing a state of mind.
