Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Pulling down the lower clothes of a sleeping woman is assault or criminal force with intent to outrage her modesty, without the elements of rape or attempt, so "X is liable for punishment under section 74 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023" (formerly section 354 IPC). The act may also attract section 76 (assault or criminal force with intent to disrobe), which is not among the options.
