Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - either a crime or a tort
In India nuisance can be either a crime or a tort. Public nuisance is an offence (defined in s. 270 BNS, formerly s. 268 IPC), and nuisance is also a civil wrong: private nuisance is actionable, and public nuisance is actionable in tort by a person who suffers special damage. So it is neither only a crime nor only a tort.
