Explanation:

- Option 1: Death by rash and negligent act: This applies when the act lacks intention or knowledge to cause death, typically involving negligence instead. A deliberate firing of a pistol due to provocation doesn't fall under negligence or rashness.

- Option 2: Attempt to murder Y: Attempt is not applicable since the unintended Z was killed, not Y.

- Option 3: Murder: This requires intent to kill or cause grievous harm. Provocation and lack of premeditation lean it away from murder.

- Option 4: Culpable homicide: It's an act causing death without the intention to kill, often with sudden provocation, making it less severe than murder.
