B Correct answer
Explanation

In Indian contract law, consideration can be provided by a third party who is not the promisee, known as a stranger to consideration. However, the doctrine of privity of contract generally prevents a stranger to the contract from enforcing it. Thus, the statement that there can be a stranger to consideration is legally accurate.
