Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

B, C, D and E are all parties to the agreement to commit theft. Under section 61(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 120A IPC), a conspiracy to commit an offence is complete on agreement and does not require a further act in pursuance of it. E's conduct may still be only preparation for the separate offence of theft, but that does not remove his liability for the completed conspiracy.
