Explanation:

- Section 112 of the Indian Evidence Act deals with the presumption of legitimacy of a child.

- It presumes that a child born during the continuance of a valid marriage, or within 280 days after its dissolution, is the legitimate child of that man, unless non-access between the spouses is proved.

- This section is specifically about disputes regarding the paternity of a child, not maternity.

- Maternity is almost never in question, as it is biologically evident who the mother is at birth.

- The section does not apply to both maternity and paternity or either; it is solely about paternity.

Correct Answer:

Option:2- paternity of a child
