• A. Section 256 of IPC
• B. Section 192 of IPC
• C. Section 195A of IPC
• D. Section 201 of IPC

Hint:

Section 201 of IPC deals with the concealment of evidence or actions taken to mislead law enforcement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Question.
Section 195 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with giving or fabricating false evidence with the intent to procure the conviction of an innocent person, which matches A's action of imitating Z's handwriting to frame him.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the offence falls under Section 195, making (c) the correct answer.
