Explanation:

- Hurt (Option 1): This involves causing bodily pain, disease, or infirmity to a person. Pushing A resulting in a knee sprain could be considered hurt. However, it doesn't cover the aspect of theft.

- Grievous Hurt (Option 2): This refers to a severe type of hurt with long-term consequences. A sprain is generally not classified as grievous hurt.

- Abetment of an Offence (Option 3): Involves aiding or encouraging someone to commit a crime. C’s actions helped B with the theft, so abetment is a possible charge.

- Robbery (Option 4): Occurs when theft is accompanied by or causes hurt to the victim. C pushing A to let B escape with the watch elevates the situation from theft to robbery.
