Section 31 explicitly states admissions are NOT conclusive — they are only prima facie evidence that can be rebutted. However, they MAY operate as estoppels (preventing the maker from taking a contrary position). Option B incorrectly states they are conclusive.

1 Pick up Evidence Act.
2 Go to Section 31.
3 Read: 'Admissions are NOT conclusive proof of the matters admitted but they MAY operate as estoppels.'
4 Option B says 'admissions ARE conclusive' — this contradicts Section 31 → INCORRECT.

The text reads: Section 31: Admissions are NOT conclusive proof but may operate as estoppels.
