Give correct response. A married girl, Sudha aged about 10 years slept in the night with her mother-in-law. Her husband Vinay aged about 19 years slept with his brother in another hut but in the same homestead. In the early hours of the fateful day the mother-in-law woke Sudha and told her to go about her household duties. Shortly after this Sudha was seen running out of the house and her husband was found mortally wounded on the neck by her. She was hiding herself in a field and could be found only in the afternoon.


A) Sudha was doli capax as it could be inferred from the case, therefore, she was liable unless proved to be doli incapax.
B) Sudha was doli incapax being below 12 years and was not liable.
C) The circumstances in which murder was committed and the conduct of Sudha were not so as to lead to an inference beyond reasonable doubt that she was guilty.
D) Sudha was not liable because a child below 12 years of age is absolutely immune from liability because of her immature age.
