Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 45 recognises instigation, conspiracy with an act or illegal omission in pursuance of the conspiracy to do the thing, and intentional aid by act or illegal omission.

Accidental facilitation without instigation or conspiracy does not meet any of those descriptions.

Option feedback

Option A

Instigation is a mode of abetment under section 45(a).

Option B

Conspiracy plus the stated act in pursuance qualifies under section 45(b).

Option C

Intentional aid can consist of an illegal omission under section 45(c).

Option D

Accidental facilitation lacks the intent needed for aid and the facts expressly rule out instigation and conspiracy.
