Solution

The correct option is C A, while playing fairly, hurts B, a commits an offence
Since B is less than the age of 18 years he cannot enter into a pact to suffer any harm. Therefore, any person causing harm to him would be committing an offence.
therefore, A is liable of causing harm to B.and has committed an offence.
