Shortly after Brian started to work at Trevit, Inc., a co-worker, Ann, began asking him out. Brian said no. Nevertheless, Ann persisted. One day Ann playfully but intentionally touched Brian "below the belt." Which statement is correct?

A) Ann defamed Brian.
B) Ann committed the tort of trespass.
C) Ann committed the tort of slander.
D) Ann committed the tort of battery.

The correct answer is letter "D": Ann committed the tort of battery.

Explanation:

In tort law, battery is the result of a harmful or offensive intentional contact an individual makes with another person without the consent of the latter. Usually, when it comes to physical violence, battery is related to an assault. Tort cases do not usually end in the defendant being incarcerated but there might be monetary compensation for the damages.

Thus, Ann committed a battery tort for touching Brian "below the belt" intentionally without his consent.
