I. Section 376 DA, IPC
II. Section 376 DB, IPC

  1. Only I and II
  2. Only II and III
  3. Only I, III and IV
  4. All of I, II, III and IV

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Only I and II
The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2018 inserted Sections 376AB, 376DA and 376DB IPC. Section 166A was inserted in 2013, and there is no Section 354AB, so only the sections numbered I and II qualify. (Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS), which replaced the IPC from 1 July 2024, gang rape of a woman under eighteen years is dealt with in Section 70(2) BNS.)
