When a crowded city bus braked suddenly, the standing passengers were thrown together, and a woman wearing very high-heeled shoes began to stumble. a man who was unacquainted with her kept her from falling by reaching his arm around her waist. if the woman sues the man for battery, will she recover? a yes, because the man intended to put his arm around her waist. b yes, because the man touched her without her permission. c no, because the man prevented her from harm. d no, because his conduct was socially acceptable.

D. No, because his conduct was socially acceptable.

Explanation:

A case for battery could only be accepted if the accused intentionally conducted  harmful or offensive contact with the accuser without that receiving consent.

From the case above, the man's intention is to help the woman from falling because of the situation on the bus. His conduct will be seen as socially acceptable by the court since no harm or offense is targeted toward the woman. (if the woman able to get proof from several witnesses that the man did otherwise, that will be another story)
