Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Under the proviso to Section 6 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, no person is entitled to act as the natural guardian of a minor if he or she has ceased to be a Hindu by conversion to another religion, or has completely and finally renounced the world by becoming a hermit (vanaprastha) or ascetic (yati or sanyasi). A partial or temporary renunciation of the world is not a statutory disqualification.
