Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 193(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 154 IPC) makes the owner or occupier of land on which an unlawful assembly is held or a riot is committed liable to fine where he or his agent or manager, knowing of it, fails to give notice to the police or to use lawful means to prevent or suppress it. He is punished for an offence committed by others on his land, which is why the section is cited as an instance of vicarious liability.

Section 61 deals with criminal conspiracy, section 147 punishes waging war against the Government of India, and section 194 deals with affray.
