Correct option is D

Section 361 (137 BNS) of the Indian Penal Code (which is retained under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita with similar provisions) defines kidnapping from lawful guardianship as taking or enticing:
whoever takes or entices any child below the age of eighteen years or any person with mental illness, out of the keeping of the lawful guardian
Or a person of unsound mind,
from the lawful guardianship without the guardian’s consent.

Information Booster:
Consent of the minor or person of unsound mind is immaterial; what matters is the absence of consent from the lawful guardian.
This provision aims to protect minors and mentally incapacitated individuals from being misled or coerced.
