Explanation:

- Section 149 IPC deals with unlawful assembly and makes every member of such assembly liable for offences committed by the group if there are five or more people.

- If two out of six are acquitted, only four are left. That means the "unlawful assembly" provision under Sec. 149 cannot apply, as it needs at least five people.

- Section 302 IPC relates to murder. The individuals could still be connected under this section if evidence supports their individual guilt.

- Option 1 (Sec. 149) is about group liability, which does not apply with less than five people.

- Option 2 (Sec. 302) focuses on murder itself, which can apply individually.

- Option 3 (Both (a) and (b)) would apply if neither section could be used, but Section 302 still can be.

- Option 4 (None of these) does not fit since Section 302 can still apply.

Correct Answer: Option 1, Sec. 149
