Answer is B is correct. The principle embodied in law in Section 6, is usually referred to as the res gestae doctrine.

Although hearsay evidence is not admissible, it may be admissible in a court of law when it is res gestae and may be reliable proof. The reason behind this is the spontaneity and immediacy of such a statement that for concoction there is hardly any time. Such a statement must, therefore, be concurrent with the acts that constitute the offense or at least immediately thereafter. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.
