Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 3 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 defines 'instrument' as a non-testamentary instrument. A testamentary instrument, such as a will, operates as a disposition on death and falls outside this definition. Registration or attestation may be required for particular transactions, but neither is the Act's definition of an instrument.
