Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 2(1)(i) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 3 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) provides that a fact is said not to be proved when it is neither proved nor disproved, so the answer is "A fact is said not to be proved when it is neither proved nor disproved." The option saying "when it is not proved" is circular, and the one saying "when it is not disproved" wrongly treats absence of disproof as the test.
