The question asks how X's conduct would be regarded if X urges his dog to bite someone.

Analyze the act.
Urging a dog to bite someone is an intentional act designed to cause harm or injury to another person.
Evaluate the options.
- a. a legal act: This is incorrect. Causing a dog to bite someone is illegal and can lead to criminal charges or civil liability.
- b. immoral: While the act is certainly immoral, this option describes the ethical aspect rather than the legal consequence.
- c. not punishable: This is incorrect. Such an act is generally considered a crime or a civil wrong.
- d. punishable: This is correct. Intentionally causing a dog to attack someone can result in criminal charges (e.g., assault, reckless endangerment) and/or civil lawsuits for damages, making the conduct punishable by law.
The most appropriate description of how such conduct would be regarded, especially in a legal context, is that it is punishable.

The final answer is $\boxed{\text{d. punishable}}$ .
