One of the essentials of holding a person responsible for dowry death is
Answer: B
The keyed answer is (B), subjected to harassment for dowry. Under Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code, a death of a woman is a dowry death if it occurs within seven years of marriage by burns or bodily injury or otherwise than under normal circumstances, and if soon before her death she was subjected to cruelty or harassment by her husband or his relatives for, or in connection with, a demand for dowry. Harassment for dowry is therefore the essential element. Option (A), harassment by peer groups, has no basis in the section. Option (C) names suspicious circumstances, which are not the same as the harassment itself. Option (D) is wrong because option (A) is not an element.
