Explanation:

Let’s break this down:

- Section 511 of the Indian Penal Code deals with punishment for attempting to commit offenses punishable with imprisonment.

- It applies to attempts of any criminal offence unless there’s a special provision for attempts in the IPC itself for that offence.

Here’s what’s up with each option:

- Attempt of riot:

- Attempts to commit riot don’t have a separate section in IPC for attempts.

- So, Section 511 applies.

- Attempt of murder:

- IPC Section 307 specifically covers “attempt to murder.”

- So, 511 does not apply here because there’s a dedicated section for it.

- Attempt of theft:

- Same as above—there is a specific section, Section 511 applies because no other section directly covers “attempt to theft.”

- None:

- Not correct because Section 511 does not apply to at least one of the above.

Correct Answer:

Option 2 - Attempt of murder
