I agree with Ivette. The question states that the land was compulsorily acquired by the government, so the compensation should be exempt under section 10(37). Piece of cake!

Hmm, this seems straightforward. The land was acquired by the government, so the compensation should be exempt. I wonder if there's a catch here that I'm missing.

I think option C makes sense. The exemption under section 10(37) should apply since the land was acquired by the government.
