Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Section 299.
Section 299 IPC defines culpable homicide not amounting to murder. It describes acts that lead to death but lack the intent or knowledge that would categorize them as murder under Section 300.
Information Booster
Culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 299 covers cases where death is caused by an act that was intended to cause harm but without the specific intent to kill or knowledge that the act would certainly cause death, thus distinguishing it from murder.
Additional Knowledge
