Which term means planned and induced by government with no predisposition?

• A. ARREST
• B. INCHOATE
• C. CRIMES
• D. ENTRAPMENT

Answer: (D)

Entrapment describes a situation where government agents plant the idea of a crime and goad a person into committing it, especially when the person had no predisposition to commit the offense. The key idea is that the defendant wouldn’t have engaged in the criminal act but for government inducement. If the defendant was already predisposed or would have acted anyway, entrapment isn’t a defense. The other terms don’t fit this scenario: arrest is simply taking someone into custody; an inchoate offense covers attempts, solicitation, or conspiracy—the planning stage before a crime is completed; crimes is a broad label for illegal acts. So the term that matches “planned and induced by government with no predisposition” is entrapment.
