Explanation:

- Option 1: Criminal breach of trust

This involves a person betraying the trust of another to dishonestly misappropriate or convert property. It doesn't apply here as X is using forceful coercion, not betrayal of trust.

- Option 2: Robbery

Robbery involves taking property from a person, usually by force. While X is demanding property, there is no direct taking from Z's person, so it's not robbery.

- Option 3: Extortion

Extortion is obtaining property by putting someone in fear of injury or harm. X's threat to harm Z's child in order to get money fits this definition perfectly.

- Option 4: Theft

Theft involves the dishonest taking of property without consent. X is not physically taking property; instead, Z is coerced to part with it due to threats.
