Explanation
The correct answer is B: 300.
Section 299 of the IPC defines culpable homicide, which includes causing death by an act done with the intention of causing death or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death. Culpable homicide is punishable under Section 304 of the IPC.
Section 300 of the IPC defines the different types of culpable homicide, including murder and culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Murder is distinguished from culpable homicide not amounting to murder by the presence of certain specific circumstances, such as the intention to cause death, the knowledge that the act is likely to cause death, or the commission of the act with extreme recklessness.
Section 301 of the IPC deals with cases in which a person causes the death of another person by doing an act with the intention of causing injury, but without the intention of causing death. This section applies when the offender's intention is not to cause death, but death occurs as a result of the act.
Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) defines the offense of murder. Murder is the intentional and unlawful killing of a person with the intention of causing death or causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death.
