Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct term for this scenario is burglary, as D enters M's house with the intent to steal. Burglary is defined as the unlawful entry into a building or other structure with the intent to commit a crime, usually theft.

Other possible related terms that fit the scenario would be "inchoate" (meaning an incomplete or unfinished crime) and "attempt" (meaning an unsuccessful effort to commit a crime). However, the best choice is still "burglary" given the details of the scenario provided.
