Solution

The correct option is C He can file a complaint under the POCSO Act.
In 2012, the POCSO Act was passed to protect children from sexual assault, harassment, and pornography. Children can file complaints based on this act or Right to Protection (Child Rights) that protects children against violence. X can always register a complaint because age is not a criteria to file the complaint.
