Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 26 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 treats a condition precedent as fulfilled if it is substantially complied with, and its illustration is this very case: where E dies and B marries with the consent of C and D, B is deemed to have fulfilled the condition. So "The condition is fulfilled; B is entitled to the Rs. 5,000". The transfer neither fails nor becomes void or voidable for want of E's consent.
