Nobody can say what . . . . . . . him to commit this crime.

excited
attracted
prompted
roused

The correct answer is C. prompted.

The word “prompted” means to urge or inspire someone to do something. In this case, the person who committed the crime was likely prompted by something, such as a desire for money, revenge, or power.

The other options are not as accurate. The word “excited” means to cause someone to feel strong feelings of pleasure or enthusiasm. The word “attracted” means to cause someone to feel a strong interest in or desire for something. The word “roused” means to awaken or stir someone to action.

In this case, it is not clear what caused the person to commit the crime, but it is likely that they were prompted by something.
