Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The gun illustration to section 109 says that where A, intending to murder Z, buys a gun and loads it, "A has not yet committed the offence", but when he fires the gun at Z he has. Firing is enough even if no hurt results, since section 109 covers an act done with that intention whether or not hurt is caused.
