Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

"Both Section 6 (a) and Section 7" of the General Clauses Act, 1897 address revival on repeal. Under Section 6(a), unless a different intention appears, the repeal of an enactment does not revive anything not in force or existing at the time at which the repeal takes effect, while Section 7 ("Revival of repealed enactments") provides that for the purpose of reviving, either wholly or partially, any enactment wholly or partially repealed, it is necessary to expressly state that purpose.
