Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

According to Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, the opinions of experts are relevant when the Court needs to form an opinion on specific technical matters. The Act explicitly lists these areas as:

  • Foreign law
  • Science
  • Art
  • Identity of handwriting
  • Finger impressions

Option A is the correct answer as it verbatim reflects the categories mentioned in the statute. Option B is incorrect because expert opinion is relevant only for foreign law, not domestic law (which the Court is presumed to know). While "science" encompasses medical science, the specific list provided in the Act and captured in Option A is the authoritative legal definition for relevance under this section.
