C Correct answer
Explanation

Section 45 of the Evidence Act lists specific categories where expert opinion is relevant: foreign law, art, science, handwriting, and finger prints. Domestic law is NOT included because courts are presumed to know the law of their own country (judicial notice). Expert opinion on foreign law is needed because courts cannot be expected to know laws of all countries, but domestic law falls within the court's own knowledge. Options A, B, and D are all expressly mentioned in Section 45.
