\nThe correct answer is C.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe offence of theft is defined under Section 378 of the Indian Penal Code. It lists several essential ingredients that must be present for the offence to be constituted.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe essential ingredients of theft under Section 378 IPC are:
\n1. Intention to take dishonestly.
\n2. Taking.
\n3. Moveable property.
\n4. Out of the possession of any person.
\n5. Without that person’s consent.<\/p>\n

Option A (Taking), Option B (Dishonest intention), and Option D (Moveable property) are all essential ingredients of theft. Option C, “Putting a person in fear of death or grievous hurt,” is an essential ingredient of the offence of *robbery* (Section 390 IPC), not simple theft. Theft becomes robbery when, in committing theft, the offender voluntarily causes or attempts to cause to any person death or hurt or wrongful restraint, or fear of instant death or instant hurt or instant wrongful restraint.
