The correct option is B) All admissions are confessions.
An admission is a broader term defined under Section 17 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 as a statement which suggests any inference as to a fact in issue or relevant fact. A confession is a specific type of admission made by a person accused of an offence, suggesting the inference that he committed the crime. While all confessions are admissions, not all admissions are confessions (e.g., admissions in civil cases or admissions by an accused person that do not directly implicate him in the crime but relate to relevant facts).
Option A is correct as per Section 31. Option C is correct because a confession is a type of admission. Option D describes one of the exceptions under Section 21 where an admission can be proved by or on behalf of the person making it (specifically, when it is relevant for reasons other than being an admission, e.g., as a statement accompanying relevant conduct or state of mind).
