Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 4 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 53 IPC) recognises death, imprisonment for life, imprisonment (rigorous or simple), forfeiture of property, fine and community service as punishments. "Transportation" is not among them: the Code of Criminal Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1955 had already replaced transportation for life with imprisonment for life in the former Code from 1 January 1956.
