Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 has extraterritorial application in certain cases, such as offences committed by Indian citizens outside India (Section 3) and offences on Indian-registered ships (Section 4). However, offences targeting computer resources outside India may not fall under IPC jurisdiction.
