Solution

The correct option is D 'B' has not committed the act fraudulently
For fraud, it is necessary that a person intentionally makes a false statement to deceive another party and thereby induce him to enter into a contract. If the intention to deceive the party is absent, there is no fraud.
'B' does not have any intention of withdrawing money from account of 'A' without the consent of 'A" and no withdrawal has been carried out by 'B' who only checks the balance in the account (Derry v Peek (1889)LR 14 App Cas 337, UKHL1).
