Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 60 NDPS Act makes liable to confiscation not only the drugs but the materials, apparatus and utensils used (sub-section (1)), the receptacles, packages and coverings (sub-section (2)), and the animal or conveyance used to carry them (sub-section (3)). A third person's vehicle is spared only if its owner proves lack of knowledge and reasonable precautions, and under section 63 confiscation does not depend on a conviction.
