Explanation:

- Cheating: This involves deceiving someone to gain a dishonest advantage. Here, there's no indication of deception, just coercion.

- Robbery: This is taking property directly from someone using force or fear. Here, ‘A’ used fear, which aligns with robbery as it involves putting someone in fear of instant harm.

- Mischief: This means causing damage to property, which doesn’t match the circumstances described.

- Extortion: This involves obtaining something through coercion or threats. ‘A’ used the fear of death to get money, making this a clear case of extortion.
