The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 makes third-party liability insurance mandatory for all motor vehicles in India.

The insurance covers the liability of the policyholder towards third parties, but not the policyholder's own damages. The purpose of the Act is to ensure that victims of road accidents are provided with adequate compensation and that the responsibility of the person causing the accident is established. Hence, option B is correct.
