Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 27(2) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 provides that nothing in the Act shall be deemed to affect rights of action against any person for passing off goods or services as the goods or services of another person, or the remedies in respect thereof. It thus preserves the common law action of "Passing Off", which protects even unregistered marks, alongside the statutory action for infringement of registered marks.
