Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Self-earned property of a female dying intestate devolves firstly under Section 15(1)(a) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 on sons, daughters and the husband simultaneously, while the mother comes only under Section 15(1)(c), so the property goes to "Son, daughter and husband equally".
