Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
In Syad Akbar v. State of Karnataka the Supreme Court classified presumptions into three kinds: "Permissive presumptions or presumptions of facts", which allow the court to infer one fact from another; "Compelling presumptions or presumptions of law (rebuttable presumptions)", which require a particular inference unless the contrary is proved; and "Irrebuttable presumptions of law or conclusive presumptions", which cannot be rebutted by contrary evidence. Hence "All of the given options are correct" is correct.
