Correct option is D
The principle of proximity to crime is irrelevant in cases of abetment and conspiracy. In such offenses, liability arises not from the completion of the crime but from the agreement or assistance provided in committing the crime. The act of conspiracy or abetment itself is sufficient to constitute an offense, regardless of whether the crime was ultimately committed. Information Booster Conspiracy ( Section 120A IPC) and abetment ( Section 107 IPC) criminalize preparatory acts that demonstrate a clear intention to commit a crime. The law punishes these inchoate offenses to prevent harm from occurring by deterring people from engaging in such criminal agreements or incitements.
