Explanation:

- The scenario: A large group of dacoits enter a house. The master, seeing their large number, does not resist. No force or violence is actually used when taking the property.

- Option 1: Dacoity

- Correct Answer: Dacoity is robbery committed by five or more people, regardless of whether actual force is used, as the presence of a large gang creates fear.

- Option 2: Robbery

- Robbery involves theft where fear or force is used. If committed by a group of 5 or more, it's specifically called dacoity.

- Option 3: Theft

- Theft is taking property without consent, but without any violence, threat, or group action.

- Option 4: Extortion

- Extortion is obtaining property by threat of injury, but not necessarily in a group.
