A) A is liable for murder, because the rule is that if the accused had been too drunk to form an intention to kill or do grievous bodily harm, he would, nevertheless have been guilty of manslaughter, either because he intended to commit a battery upon his wife or else because he would have been guilty of gross negligence.
B) A is liable for murder because he had indicated his intention to kill his wife before taking alcohol.
C) Since a was so deeply intoxicated that he was incapable of forming the criminal intent required in murder, therefore, A was not liable.
