A person convicted of cyber crime under the IT Act 2000 can face up to how much imprisonment?
A1 year
B7 years
C3 years
D10 years
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 3 years
1. The chapter states a person committing cyber crime faces imprisonment of 3 years or fine up to 5 lakh.
2. Option C gives the 3-year figure exactly.
3. The 1-year option understates the cited penalty and is a trap for a rushed reader.
4. The 7-year option overstates the term; the text fixes it at 3 years.
5. The 10-year option may be confused with harsher unrelated crimes, but the text caps imprisonment at 3 years.
6. Re-reading the box confirms 3 years, so C is the key.
