Explanation:

- When an act is found to be deliberate and not due to accident, rashness, or negligence, it means that intent is involved.

- Murder (Option 1): This is a higher degree of culpable homicide, where intention to cause death or injury likely to cause death is present with certain aggravating factors.

- Attempt to murder (Option 3): The person tries but fails to actually cause death.
