According to the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, the mother comes in second to the father as the natural guardian of a young boy or unmarried girl. Only when the father is not there or is unable to serve as a guardian does the mother take precedence. There are no age-based distinctions made in this provision. hence option d is the correct option
