Which one of the following statement is correct?

Verified Answer
A. Every, culpable homicide is murder
B. Death caused by negligent act is murder
C. Every murder is culpable homicide
D. Death caused in course of quarrel is murder

Explanation:

Culpable homicide is the genus, and murder is a species. All murders are culpable homicides, but not all culpable homicides are murders. Therefore, 'Every murder is culpable homicide' is the correct statement. The other options are incorrect as they misrepresent the relationship between these concepts in criminal law.
