Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under "Section 17" of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 19 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), statements by persons whose position or liability it is necessary to prove as against a party to the suit are admissions, if they would be relevant against those persons in a suit brought by or against them. It does not make every statement by an outsider an admission binding on the litigant.
