Discussion
In criminal law, ................. may be defined as that which leads or tempts the mind to indulge in a criminal act or as the moving power which impels to act for a definite result.
Answer: B
The definition is of motive.
Motive is the reason behind an act: what tempts or moves a person to commit it, such as greed, revenge or jealousy. It answers why the act was done. Motive is generally irrelevant to criminal liability, though it can be important evidence.
Intention is the purpose or design with which the act is done, the aim to produce a particular result. Preparation and attempt are stages in committing a crime, not mental states.
