Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Wrongful gain under section 2(36) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 23 IPC) concerns property to which the intended recipient is not legally entitled. That requirement applies when dishonesty is alleged through wrongful gain, although section 2(7) (formerly section 24 IPC) also separately recognises intended wrongful loss.
