Correct Answer:
B. Section 16
The correct answer is Section 16. Specific acts often contain dedicated sections that define offenses pertinent to that legislation and prescribe corresponding penalties. For instance, Section 16 of the Colonization of Government Lands (Punjab) Act, 1912, specifically addresses the offense of providing false information to become a tenant and outlines the penalties for such deceit. 'PPC' (Pakistan Penal Code) and 'CrPC' (Code of Criminal Procedure) are general criminal laws and procedures, respectively, but the specific penalty for this act-related offense is found within the act itself. 'Section 24' is incorrect as it does not pertain to this specific penalty.
