Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Attempt to murder requires an act done with the intention or knowledge, and in circumstances, such that causing death by that act would amount to murder. Section 109 does not require actual injury: even an unsuccessful act can constitute the offence. Causing hurt affects the punishment, while use of a deadly weapon and a previous conviction are not indispensable ingredients.
