Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, the act described constitutes House-breaking. Specifically, Section 331(2) of the BNS (which corresponds to Section 445 of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code) defines house-breaking as committing house-trespass by entering a house through any passage not intended for human entrance, such as a window, or by using any passage opened by the offender.

  • Larceny and Burglary are terms primarily used in English law. In Indian law, the equivalent terms are 'Theft' and 'House-breaking' respectively.
  • Home invasion is not a specific statutory term defined for this act under the BNS.

Since A entered Z's house through a window (a passage not intended for human entrance) without permission, the offence is legally classified as house-breaking.
