Section 87 to 93 of Indian Penal code are based on the maxim :
Answer: B
Sections 87 to 93 rest on volenti non fit injuria (printed 'Volunti').
These sections deal with acts done with consent: an act not intended to cause death or grievous hurt done with the consent of a person above eighteen (Section 87), acts done in good faith for a person's benefit with consent (Sections 88 and 89), and related cases. The underlying maxim is that harm suffered by one who consents is no wrong.
Ignorantia juris non excusat (ignorance of law is no excuse) underlies the rule on mistake of law, de minimis non curat lex underlies Section 95 on trivial acts, and actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea states the general requirement of a guilty mind.
