What offence is being committed if someone threatens to harm you in order to steal your belongings?

  1. Theft

  2. Robbery

  3. Extortion

  4. Assault

The correct answer is: Robbery

Robbery is the correct offence being committed because it involves the use or threat of physical force to take someone's belongings. Extortion, while also involving the threat of harm, typically includes the demand for payment or favors in return for not causing harm. Theft involves taking someone's belongings without their permission, but does not necessarily involve the use of force or threat of force. Assault involves intentionally causing harm or fear of harm to someone, but does not necessarily involve the intent to steal belongings.
