Correct Answer

(C) Inadmissible

Explanation

Solution: In general, a statement made by a person in anticipation of death is admissible as a dying declaration under Section 32 of the Indian Evidence Act. However, for a statement to be admissible, it must be made by a person who subsequently dies due to the injuries or circumstances mentioned in the statement. In the given scenario, the statement is made by a person who survives and communicates it to a police officer. Since the person does not subsequently die, the statement does not qualify as a dying declaration and is therefore considered inadmissible as evidence under the Indian Evidence Act. Therefore, the correct answer is: C. Inadmissible
