​The Correct Answer is option 2. 

Key Points

Explanation:

• If a person attacks another due to a misconception, as described in the example with Z thinking A is a house-breaker, the attacker is not guilty of any offense due to their mistaken belief.

The correct answer is Option 2 

Key PointsAccording to Section 43(e) of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, the right of private defence against house-breaking at night continues as long as the trespass resulting from the house-breaking continues.

(a) Begins when there is a reasonable apprehension of danger to the property;
(b) Against theft, continues until the offender retreats with the property, public authorities intervene, or the property is recovered;
(c) Against robbery, persists as long as the offender causes or attempts to cause death, hurt, or wrongful restraint, or as long as the fear of immediate death, hurt, or personal restraint exists;
(d) Against criminal trespass or mischief, remains in effect as long as the offender continues committing the act;
(e) Against house-breaking occurring between sunset and sunrise, lasts as long as the resulting house trespass continues.

  (d) Against criminal trespass or mischief, remains in effect as long as the offender continues committing the act;
  (e) Against house-breaking occurring between sunset and sunrise, lasts as long as the resulting house-trespass continues.
