Answer 1

Answer:b. actus reus.

Explanation:

Actus reus:

Actus reus is derived from Latin word which refers to a criminal act.

Criminal acts are considered based whether the crime commited was physical (actus reus) or it was based on mental instability (mens tea).

Actus reus is when someone knowingly commit an act that is prohibited in a criminal law , a person intentional makes a move that will harm another person; this can be a physical assault or murder.

Not doing something that can help someone in danger which is known as omission is also under actus reus.

However if the criminal act that a person committed was involuntary it doesn't fall under actus reus like an action committed when someone may have been asleep.

Rashaad knowingly and voluntarily short his wife and friend whilst he was in his right state of mind and also being well aware that this physical action in which he pulled a trigger will harm his wife and friend.
