Explanation:

- Option 1: A has committed kidnapping. This could be correct as taking a minor away without the legal guardian's consent is often considered kidnapping under many jurisdictions.

- Option 2: A has committed no offence as B has gone with her own consent. This is incorrect as minors cannot legally consent to marriage or travel for such purposes.

- Option 3: A has committed abduction. This involves coercion or deceit in many legal systems; if A enticed B, this option could apply, but kidnapping is more relevant when minors are involved.

- Option 4: A is himself minor. Hence A has committed no offence. Being a minor doesn't exempt A from being held accountable by juvenile laws.

Option 1: A has committed kidnapping is the correct option.
