Correct option is D
The correct answer is
(d) Section 107.
Section 107 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, deals with the "presumption of life." It states that when a person is shown to have been alive within the past 30 years, the law presumes that the person is still alive unless proven otherwise. This presumption applies until evidence is provided to the contrary, such as proof of death.
