Under the Motor Vehicles Act (pre-2019 amendment S.140), no-fault liability fixed compensation for death was Rs.50,000. After the 2019 Amendment (new S.164), this has been enhanced to Rs.5,00,000 for death and Rs.2,50,000 for grievous hurt. Since this question references the older provision, the answer is Rs.50,000 (option B).
