    A.

    The offense of planning

    B.

    The offense of criminal conspiracy

    C.

    D.

    No offense

    Correct option is B

    'A' and 'B' are guilty of criminal conspiracy under Section 120B of the IPC. When two or more persons agree to commit an illegal act or a legal act by illegal means, they are guilty of criminal conspiracy, even if the act is not yet carried out.

    · Attempting the murder ( Section 307 IPC)- Requires an overt act toward the commission of the crime.
