Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 34 IPC) lays down joint criminal liability: when a criminal act is done by several persons in furtherance of the common intention of all, each is liable as if he had done it alone, so "Section 3(5)" is correct. Section 3(7) deals with an effect caused partly by an act and partly by an omission, Section 2(33) defines "voluntarily" and Section 2(24) defines "offence".
