Explanation:

- Option 1: Theft – Theft means taking someone's property without their consent, and in this case, the money was already delivered to the servant.

- Option 2: Extortion – Extortion is putting a person in fear of injury to take property or money from them. In this scenario, it’s not just fear but also force used.

- Option 3: Robbery – Robbery means theft with immediate use or threat of violence. Since A disguises himself and robs his own servant with force, this is robbery.

- Option 4: Criminal breach of trust – This occurs when someone entrusted with property dishonestly misappropriates it. Here, A forcibly takes it back, so this does not apply.

Correct answer: Option 3: Robbery
