Explanation:

- Proximity test: This evaluates if the defendant's actions have reached a point where a reasonable person would believe the crime is about to occur.

- Impossibility test: This considers whether the crime could have actually been completed, determining liability based on whether the steps taken were close enough to the actual commission of the crime.

- Locus standi test: This generally refers to the right of a party to bring an action or to be heard in court. It is not a test for determining attempts in crime.

- Social danger test: This examines whether the defendant’s actions pose a danger to society, warranting punishment at the attempt stage.

Your Answer: Option 3 - Locus standi test ??
