    A.

    Advocate General

    B.

    Any citizen

    C.

    District Magistrate

    D.

    Any 10 or more citizens

    Correct option is A

    Under Section 91 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, a suit for public nuisance can be filed by the Advocate General or with the permission of the court by two or more persons with the same cause.
    Information Booster:
    Public nuisance refers to acts that affect the public at large, such as pollution or obstruction of public ways. Section 91 allows certain authorities or individuals to seek relief in cases of public nuisance.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Any citizen or District Magistrate: They cannot individually file under this Section without the requisite permission.
    · Any 10 or more citizens: This is incorrect because only two or more citizens with permission of the court can file a suit.
