Believing that state law made it illegal to purchase a certain drug without providing identification and signing a log book, a defendant purchased the drug without doing so. Unbeknownst to the defendant, the state legislature had repealed the statute, and the drug could be legally purchased without providing identification or a signature. May the defendant be charged with attempting an illegal purchase of drugs?

A No, because the repeal of the statute made it factually impossible for the defendant to be guilty of the charge.
B No, because the repeal of the statute made it legally impossible for the defendant to be guilty of the charge.
C Yes, because factual impossibility is not a defense to attempt.
D Yes, because legal impossibility is not a defense to attempt.
