What is the definition of burglary?

Burglary is defined specifically as the unlawful entry into a structure with the intent to commit a crime, typically theft, once inside. Option B captures this definition accurately by emphasizing the unlawful taking of property from within premises, highlighting the importance of both the unlawful entry and the act of taking property.

This option reflects the legal understanding that burglary involves not just theft but also the element of breaking and entering, which distinguishes it from other forms of theft. The focus on entering or leaving premises underscores the necessity of the physical act of entering a structure without permission, which is a key characteristic of burglary.

The other options represent different aspects of theft or property crimes, but they do not encompass the full scope of burglary as defined in the legal context. They may describe theft scenarios but do not include the essential elements of unlawful entry and intent specific to burglary.
