Explanation

The correct answer is D: Until executed or cancelled

According to Section 70 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, every warrant of arrest issued by a Court under this Code shall remain in force until it is cancelled by the Court which issued it, or until it is executed. This means that a warrant of arrest does not expire after a fixed period of time, but rather depends on the actions of the Court or the Police.
