Verified Answer

C. If they themselves create a liability
D. Either (A) or (C)

Explanation:

Section 34 of the Indian Evidence Act makes entries in books of account relevant, but with a proviso: 'such statements shall not alone be sufficient evidence to charge any person with liability.' This means they are admissible, but cannot *alone* create liability; they require corroboration.
