Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The Explanation to section 329(2) states that "the introduction of any part of the criminal trespasser's body" is entering sufficient to constitute house-trespass. Entry of the whole body, or of particular parts, is not required, and no minimum time inside is prescribed; the other elements of criminal trespass and a qualifying building must still be proved.
