Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Rateable abatement applies to wills (wasiyat) under Hanafi law: where bequests exceed the bequeathable one-third and the heirs do not consent, each legacy is reduced proportionately so that together they stay within one-third.

Hiba is a gift, sadqa a gift for religious merit, and ariyat a gratuitous loan of use; abatement does not apply to them.
