A Correct answer
Explanation

Under Section 51 CPC, money decrees can be executed by attachment and sale of property (movable or immovable), arrest and detention (ONLY for a limited maximum period, not indefinitely), or other specified modes. Option B is incorrect because it says 'indefinite period' - CPC limits detention. Therefore A is correct and C (which includes the incorrect B) is wrong.
