Explanation:

- Murder: This involves intentional killing with malice aforethought. In this scenario, 'A' acted in good faith, without intent to kill.

- Culpable homicide not amounting to murder: This occurs when a death is caused by an act intended to cause harm but not rise to the level of murder. 'A' did not intend harm.

- Culpable homicide as an exception to Section 300: This covers situations where harm is caused unintentionally in pursuit of a lawful act done in good faith and without knowledge of potential harm. This might fit since 'A' acted in good faith, intending to save the child.

- No offence: Acts in genuine good faith for the benefit of another without intention to cause harm often warrant no criminal liability.

Considering 'A's actions were meant to save the child without intent to harm, and no negligence in the deficiency of care is apparent:

- Answer: No offence
