Solution
The correct answer is A. TRIXIE committed the crime of agreeing to engage in an act of prostitution. This is because she agreed to perform a sex act for money, which is the definition of prostitution. The act of prostitution does not need to be completed for the agreement to be considered a crime. Therefore, even though the act was not carried out, the agreement itself is a crime.
