Explanation:

- Theft: This involves taking someone’s property without their consent and with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of it. In this scenario, nothing was taken due to resistance.

- Robbery: It is essentially theft with added elements of violence or intimidation. They attempted theft but did not succeed, though violence was involved.

- Criminal Misappropriation: This involves dishonestly misappropriating or converting property for one's own use. They did not secure the property, so this doesn’t apply.

- Dacoity: This is when five or more people collude to commit robbery or attempted robbery. Since X and his four associates were involved, it fits this crime.
