C Correct answer
Explanation

Illicit intercourse means sexual relations between two persons not united by lawful marriage. It covers consensual sexual activity outside marriage, including premarital sex and extramarital affairs. It is distinct from rape (non-consensual), prostitution (commercial), and specific offenses like sex with a sleeping woman (which would fall under rape or other specific provisions). The key element is the absence of lawful marriage between the participants.
