Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under s.5(e) of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, the aggrieved person must be informed of her right to file a complaint under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, wherever relevant, not sections 304B, 406 or 354 IPC. The Act's text still cites the IPC; the corresponding offence of cruelty by husband or his relatives is now in Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita ss.85-86.
