Correct answer: (b) Only two
Explanation
- A
Only one
Only one. Two of the three Act-tags hold.
- B
Only two
Only two. Unauthorised police/military uniform is an Official Secrets Act offence. Celebratory gunfire sits in the Arms (Amendment) Act, 2019. Misleading a police officer is not an Indian Evidence Act head.
- C
All three
All three. Pair 2 is the mismatch.
- D
None
None. Two matches stand.
Summary. Official key is (b) only two. The Official Secrets Act, 1923, punishes unauthorised wearing of police or military uniforms. The Arms (Amendment) Act, 2019, covers celebratory firing that endangers others. The Indian Evidence Act does not create the ‘misleading an officer’ offence named in pair 2.
