How is assault defined in terms of physical interaction?

Accidentally
Intentionally
Negligently
Verbally

The correct answer is: Intentionally

Assault is defined as intentionally causing or attempting to cause physical harm to another person. This includes an intentional act, such as hitting or pushing, rather than an accidental action (A Accidentally). It also does not include negligent behavior (C: Negligently), which means failing to take proper care or precautions. Lastly, assault involves physical interaction, so it does not include solely verbal (D: Verbally) attacks. While verbal threats or insults can be a form of assault, they do not involve physical interaction. Therefore, the correct answer is B: Intentionally.
