Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under section 28 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, a dependant may enforce his right to maintenance against a transferee if the transferee has notice of the right or if the transfer is gratuitous; these are alternative conditions, while a transferee for consideration without notice is protected. The complete rule is therefore "When the Transferee has notice of such right or when the transfer is gratuitous".
