The R. Venkatachala Iyengar v. B.N. Thimmajamma case dealt with the question of whether a Hindu widow might adopt a son without her late husband's express permission or approval. According to the Supreme Court, a widow has the right to adopt a son if her husband has given her the power to do so, either directly or by necessary inference. The case highlighted the significance of a husband's authority—explicit or implied—for a widow's legal adoption. option A is the correct option.
