C Correct answer
Explanation

Section 6 of the Limitation Act defines legal disabilities that stop the limitation period from running while they exist. The Act specifically recognizes THREE disabilities: (1) Minority (being a minor), (2) Insanity (mental unsoundness), and (3) Idiocy (a form of mental incapacity). Insolvency (financial inability to pay debts) is NOT a legal disability under Section 6 - it is a financial condition, not a personal incapacity that prevents someone from understanding their rights or taking legal action. The limitation period continues to run despite insolvency.
