Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

A is guilty of abetting murder. Section 48 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita covers abetment from outside India of an act committed in India that would constitute an offence here, and its illustration uses this very situation. A's location abroad therefore does not remove abetment liability. The stated instigation establishes abetment without needing to assume an additional conspiratorial agreement.
