Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Relevance means that "Relevant evidence is that which makes the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence"; this logical test underlies the relevancy provisions in sections 3 to 50 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly sections 5 to 55 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872).
