Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

An act done with intent that goes beyond preparation is an attempt even if success is impossible in the circumstances, so firing at a coat believed to be B, intending to kill him, is an attempt to murder under section 109 of the BNS. Witchcraft is not an act capable of causing death, travelling to buy materials is mere preparation, and taking one's own umbrella is not an attempt at theft.
