DReceiving any property as a gift
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Taking any movable property out of the possession of any person, without that person's consent, dishonestly
Section 378: intention to take dishonestly + movable property + out of another's possession + without consent + with moving the property. Immovable property cannot be 'taken' in this sense; trespass-based offences cover that.
