Explanation:

- Theft: Involves taking someone's movable property without consent. This situation doesn't fit because it's not about taking physical items.

- Criminal breach of trust: Occurs when someone entrusted with property misuses it. This doesn't apply since Z hasn't entrusted anything to A with trust.

- Cheating: Involves deceiving someone to act to their detriment, but this case focuses more on inducing fear, not deception.

- Extortion: Involves putting someone in fear to gain something of value. Here, A puts Z in fear to gain a signed paper, fitting the definition of extortion.
