B. Conspired with that person

D. Designed commission of offence
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Abetment is defined under Section 107 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) as instigating, engaging in conspiracy, or intentionally aiding someone to commit an offense.Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: Abetted such another person.
The explanation is that the question directly describes the definition of abetment as laid down in the IPC. Instigating, intentionally aiding, or engaging another person to do something falls squarely under the legal definition of abetment.
Option B: Conspired with that person is incorrect because while conspiracy is a form of abetment (as per Section 120A of the IPC), the question doesn't necessarily imply a pre-arranged plan or agreement, which is a key element of conspiracy. The act described could be abetment even without a formal conspiracy.
Option C: Becomes member of unlawful assembly is incorrect. An unlawful assembly, as defined under Section 141 IPC, requires a collection of five or more people with a common illegal purpose. The question only mentions two individuals – the instigator and the person being instigated. It doesn't refer to a group.
Option D: Designed commission of offence is incorrect. While this might be a consequence of abetment, it isn't the precise legal term for the action described in the question. The question focuses on the *act* of instigating, aiding, or engaging, not just the resulting plan or design of the offense.
