Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 193 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 imposes liability connected with land where an unlawful assembly or riot takes place. Under sub-section (1) (formerly section 154 IPC) the owner or occupier is liable when the specified knowledge and failures to notify, prevent or suppress it are established. Its focus on the landholder and relevant agents explains its description as a form of vicarious responsibility, without dispensing with those statutory conditions.

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