In the exercise of the right of private defence even the death of the accused can be caused under -

Correct option is A

Section 100 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, specifies situations in which a person is justified in causing death while exercising their right of private defence. It allows a person to defend themselves, even to the extent of causing death, if they face imminent danger of death, grievous hurt, rape, kidnapping, or other serious crimes. Section 102 of the IPC, on the other hand, merely defines the duration of the right of private defence but does not authorize causing death. Section 103 applies to property-related situations, where causing death may be justified in defence of property under certain circumstances.
