Explanation:

- Let’s look at each option:

- *Extortion* involves compelling someone to give up property using threats or force. That doesn’t apply here.

- *Theft* is taking someone else’s property without consent and with dishonest intention. In this case, the flight was initially authorized, so the initial taking wasn't dishonest.

- *Criminal breach of trust* means being entrusted with property and then dishonestly misusing it or converting it for one’s own use. That closely fits the scenario, as the accused had legal possession but did not return the plane.

- *Criminal misappropriation* is when someone comes across property innocently and then misuses it. However, here, the possession was given for a specific purpose, making breach of trust more precise.

- Correct Answer: Option 3, Criminal breach of trust
