What is the punishment for violation of privacy ?
Answer: D
The punishment is three years or fine not exceeding two lakh rupees or both.
Section 66E of the IT Act punishes whoever intentionally captures, publishes or transmits the image of a private area of any person without consent, in circumstances violating that person's privacy, with imprisonment which may extend to three years, or fine not exceeding two lakh rupees, or both.
Option A matches the penalty for identity theft under section 66C (three years and fine up to one lakh). Imprisonment for life is the penalty for cyber terrorism under section 66F, and five years with fine up to ten lakh rupees is the first-conviction penalty for sexually explicit material under section 67A.
