Solution

The correct option is B 21
As per the Indian Majority Act 1975, the age to attain majority is 18 years. But if a guardian is appointed to a child or if he/she is under the court of wards, then that child will attain the majority at the age of 21 years. It happens as a result of a need to secure the property related rights and welfare of the child. Hence the correct answer is B.
