Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Chapter V of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 ("Of Offences Against Woman and Child") comprises Sections 63 to 99. Accordingly, Section 75 (sexual harassment), Section 76 (assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe), Section 77 (voyeurism), and Section 78 (stalking)—corresponding to erstwhile Sections 354A to 354D of the Indian Penal Code, 1860—are all placed in Chapter V. By contrast, Section 124 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by use of acid, etc., and throwing or attempting to throw acid; formerly Sections 326A and 326B) is placed under Chapter VI ("Of Offences Affecting the Human Body", Sections 100 to 146). Hence, "A, B, C, and D only" is correct.
