Because it conflates the notions of testamentary and intestate succession, option A is erroneous. Option B is inaccurate since the Act includes provisions that also apply to Christians, Parsis, and other communities, not just Hindus. Option C is inappropriate because, as stated in the Act, executors and administrators are subject to fiduciary obligations. hence option D is the correct.
