Explanation:

- Robbery: This involves taking property unlawfully from a person using force or intimidation. Seizing a child and threatening to kill for valuables fits this definition.

- Dacoity: This is similar to robbery but involves five or more people. Since X and four others (total five) are involved, this fits the situation. Correct Answer: Dacoity.

- Attempt to murder: This implies an intention and act to kill someone, which is not the primary act here; the focus is on extortion.

- Theft: This is the act of taking someone’s property without consent and without any force or intimidation. The use of threat and force moves it beyond theft.
