For constituting an offence of criminal misappropriation the essence behind this section is when a person converts any property for his own use. A word ‘converts to his own use’ connotes the usage or deals with the property in derogation of the right of the owner. If a person appropriates it for his own use, when he knows or has the means of discovering the owner, or before he has used reasonable means to discover and give notice to the owner and has kept the property a reasonable time to enable the owner to claim it. Hence, Option A is correct.
