The objective test, also known as the "inducement test," is used to determine if an entrapment defense is valid. It asks whether the methods of persuasion or inducement used by an officer or agent were so substantial that they created a risk of committing a crime by persons who were not already inclined to do so. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it accurately describes the test. Option A is incorrect as the test does not allow police to encourage defendants to commit crimes. Option C is also incorrect as the focus of the test is not solely on the criminal actions. Option D is incorrect as option A is not correct.
