Always remember that one need to mark the best possible option out of the given options. It is not about the correct option. Sometimes, more than one option appear to be correct while sometimes no option may be correct. So, don't find the correct answer but the best option.

It was 12 weeks as per Section 5 of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 but after an amendment to this Act in 2017, the Government has increased paid maternity leave from 12 weeks to 26 weeks of which not more than eight weeks shall precede the date of expected delivery.
