Explanation:

- Option 1: Is relevant u/s 9

- Section 9 deals with facts necessary to explain or introduce relevant facts. Suicide by consuming poison may not directly explain A's alleged act, so this is unlikely relevant.

- Option 2: Is relevant u/s 8

- Section 8 covers any motive, preparation, and previous or subsequent conduct. B's suicide might reflect on their conduct but not directly on A's alleged act. Hence, it's not directly relevant under this section.

- Option 3: Is relevant u/s 7

- Section 7 relates to facts which are the occasion, cause, or effect of facts in issue. B's suicide might illustrate an alternative cause of death, but not tied to A's alleged action.

- Option 4: Is relevant u/s 11

- Section 11 pertains to facts that are inconsistent with the facts in issue or make their existence improbable. B's suicide by poison suggests a different cause of death, relevant to proving A didn't commit murder.

Option 4: Is relevant u/s 11
