The primary rule of interpretation is 'literal construction' according to which -

(A) 'Acts' are not to be regarded as including anything which is not within their letter as well as sprit

(B) If the particular words exhaust the whole genus, then the general words are construed as embracing a larger genus

(C) The words, phrases and sentences of a statute are ordinarily to be understood in their natural, ordinary or popular and grammatical meanings unless such a construction leads to an absurdity

(D) None of the above.
