Explanation:

- Section 171 F of IPC: This section deals with the offense of personation in elections. It specifies punishment for anyone who fraudulently pretends to be someone else to vote in an election or induce an elector to vote for a particular candidate.

- Correct Answer

- Section 172 F of IPC: There is no Section 172 F in IPC. Section 172 deals with absconding to avoid service of summons or other proceedings but does not have anything related to elections.

- Section 173 F of IPC: Similarly, there is no Section 173 F in IPC. Section 173 generally refers to failure to attend in obedience to a legal order or proceedings, not elections.

- Section 174 F of IPC: There is no provision like Section 174 F in IPC. Section 174 relates to non-attendance in obedience to an order from a public servant, unrelated to elections.
