Verified Answer
A. which occurred at the same time and place
B. which occurred at a different time and place
C. which are connected with other facts on the basis of time, place, object, parties, acts or omissions
D. None of the above

Explanation:

As per Section 6 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (doctrine of Res Gestae), facts which, though not in issue, are so connected with a fact in issue as to form part of the same transaction, are relevant. This connection can be based on continuity of purpose, cause and effect, or proximity in time, place, object, parties, acts or omissions, even if they occurred at different times and places.
