Correct option is D
The correct answer is
(d) Evidence of a statement of the act of robbery without making any complaint. Section 8 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the relevancy of conduct and motive. Statements that are not directly connected to the conduct or motive and are made after the incident without any immediate connection to the event are generally not relevant under this section.
