Explanation:

- Option 1: Excuses the causing of death

- Consent given under compulsion is not a valid excuse for causing death. Threats cannot justify taking someone’s life.

- Option 2: Excuses causing of any offence against the state punishable with death

- Offenses against the state, particularly those punishable by death, are not excused even under threat. The law typically requires higher accountability for such serious crimes.

- Option 3: Both (a) & (b)

- This suggests both causing death and committing serious offenses against the state are excused under threat. This is incorrect, as legal systems generally do not condone either action under coercion.

- Option 4: Neither (a) nor (b)

- Neither causing death nor committing a capital offense against the state is excused under compulsion or threat. The law doesn’t provide leniency for such severe actions even if consent is coerced.
