Explanation:

- Option 1: Theft – Theft means taking someone’s property dishonestly without consent. Here, B was given the money with consent, so it is not theft.

- Option 2: Criminal breach of trust – This means misusing property entrusted to someone for another purpose. Here, B was supposed to deposit the money but used it for herself. This fits the definition of criminal breach of trust under IPC.

- Option 3: Extortion – Extortion is forcing someone to give property through threat. There's no force or threat here.

- Option 4: No offence – B misused the trust, so it cannot be said there was no offence.

Correct Answer: Option 2 – Criminal breach of trust.
