If someone pulls a fire alarm when there is no reasonable cause to do so, what offence is that person committing?

  1. Mischief

  2. Theft

  3. Assault

  4. Vandalism

The correct answer is: Mischief

The offence that the person is committing is Mischief. This is because the person is causing damage or disrupting activities of others by improperly using property or by acting recklessly in a manner that endangers others. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the situation. Theft involves taking someone else's property without their consent, Assault involves causing harm or fear of harm to another person, and Vandalism involves damaging or destroying property belonging to someone else. None of these options fully capture the act of purposely triggering a fire alarm without reasonable cause.
