Explanation
This question is based on Section 414 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, which deals with the offence of "Assisting in concealment of stolen property".
The section states that whoever voluntarily assists in concealing, disposing of, or making away with property which they know or have reason to believe to be stolen property, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description (meaning either rigorous or simple imprisonment) for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.
Option C is the correct choice as it precisely matches the legal provision. Option B is incorrect because it limits the punishment to "simple imprisonment", and Option D is incorrect because it specifies an incorrect maximum term of five years.
