Correct Answer
D. The evidence can be admitted as it satisfies the requirements of both section 64 and section 65 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872Explanation

Section 65 states that secondary evidence may be admitted in the absence of the original when it is proved or admitted that the original is in the possession of the opposite party.
