Explanation
Under Section 79 of the Factories Act, 1948, an adult worker earns one day of leave with wages for every 20 days worked, and days of lay-off under standing orders are deemed to be days worked. Here 220 days worked plus 20 days laid off count as 240 days, giving 240/20 = 12 days of leave for 2023. Hence (d).
