Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Under Section 300 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, murder includes an act done with the intention of causing bodily injury sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death. C’s intentional act of inflicting a deadly wound on D, resulting in death, constitutes murder. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{C is guilty of murder}} \]
