The correct answer is mere presence. What this means is that mere physical presence during a conspiracy is enough to have you become an accomplice. Actus reus is an element that constitutes a crime but is not related to the mental state of the accused. Whether or not you were a conspirator does not matter since you didn't do anything to prevent the conspiracy.
