Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Hindu Succession Act section 21 provides that where two persons have died in circumstances making it uncertain whether either survived the other, the younger is presumed to have survived the elder, unless the contrary is proved, for purposes affecting succession to property. The presumption is rebuttable and does not establish their actual death times.
