Explanation:

- In this scenario, A knows the property belongs to Z and takes it without Z’s consent.

- For "theft" under IPC, the property must be moved out of someone’s possession without their consent with dishonest intention. Here, A did not directly remove the property from Z's possession—Z’s wife handed it over.

- "Criminal misappropriation" means A dishonestly misappropriates or converts to his own use property he possesses.

- "Criminal breach of trust" involves a person, entrusted with property, dishonestly misappropriating it or using it in violation of legal direction.

- As A received property from Z's wife (who wasn't authorized to give it), and took it knowing she had no right, the proper offence is criminal misappropriation.

Option:1, Criminal breach of trust and criminal misappropriation is correct.
