Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Hunting under the Wild Life (Protection) Act is broader than killing an animal. It includes capture, coursing, snaring and poisoning, as well as attempts to carry out those acts. It also includes injuring or destroying an animal or taking part of its body, so the statement excluding body parts is incorrect.
