Explanation:

- Theft involves taking someone's property without their consent with the intention to permanently deprive them of it. In this case, A takes the property knowing it belongs to Z and does so dishonestly.

- Criminal breach of trust occurs when someone entrusted with property dishonestly misappropriates it. Since A was not entrusted with the property by Z, this charge does not fit.

- Criminal misappropriation happens when someone wrongly retains property after coming into possession of it accidentally or without criminal intent. A took the property knowingly, not accidentally.

- Option 3: Theft is correct as A took Z's property without his consent, intending to dishonestly keep it.
