The Rule of 'Rateable Abatement' applies in
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.
