Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

A child in the womb can acquire inheritance rights if subsequently born alive. Under section 20 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, a child in the womb when the intestate dies can inherit as if born before that death, with the inheritance vesting from the date of death. Legal personality is the capacity to hold rights and duties, and it can be recognised for a corporation or a Hindu temple deity.
