The correct answer is option 1, which is Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Section 377 deals with unnatural offenses and criminalizes "carnal intercourse against the order of nature." This section has historically been used to persecute and discriminate against individuals from the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) community in India. It has been a subject of controversy and debate due to its violation of fundamental human rights, including the right to privacy and equality. It was decriminalized by the Supreme Court of India in 2018, recognizing the rights of individuals from the LGBT community and overturning the previous discriminatory interpretation of Section 377.
