Answer: B
The key's answer is Sec. 320.
Section 320 of the Indian Penal Code defines grievous hurt, listing its eight kinds, among them emasculation, permanent loss of sight or hearing, loss or impairment of a limb or joint, fracture or dislocation of a bone or tooth, and hurt endangering life or causing severe pain or incapacity for twenty days. The punishment for voluntarily causing it is laid down in Section 325, which is not among the options, so Section 320 is the grievous hurt provision the key selects.
Section 321 defines voluntarily causing (simple) hurt, Section 354 concerns assault on a woman to outrage her modesty, and Section 402 concerns assembling to commit dacoity.
