Explanation:

- Option 1: Robbery

Robbery involves taking property from someone with force or threat of force. As there was no physical force or threat of immediate force, robbery doesn't apply.

- Option 2: Dacoity

Dacoity is similar to robbery but involves a gang of five or more people. Since the scenario involves only A and Z, it isn't dacoity.

- Option 3: Theft

Theft is taking someone's property with the intent to permanently deprive them of it without their consent. Here, Z was induced to give money, not secretly taken.

- Option 4: Extortion

Extortion involves obtaining money or property by threatening to do something against the victim's interests, like publishing a libel. This fits the scenario perfectly.
