Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Explanation 4 to section 303 of the BNS says a person who by any means causes an animal to move is said to move that animal, and illustration (b) to section 303 holds that A commits theft "As soon as Z's dog has begun to follow A". Physical handling of the dog, getting it off the premises or tying it up are not needed; the moving by means of the bait is enough.
