Explanation

Section 376A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) states: (a) Causes the person to be in persistent vegetative state.

Section 376A specifically deals with the offense of causing a person to be in a persistent vegetative state as a result of sexual assault. It states that whoever commits sexual assault and causes the victim to be in a persistent vegetative state shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than twenty years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life, or with death.

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Causes the person to be in persistent vegetative state.
