When encountering a trespasser, what should be your first course of action?

Call the police
Use physical force
Ask them to leave
Detain them

The correct answer is: Ask them to leave

The first course of action should be to ask the trespasser to leave. This is the safest and most ethical option as it involves peacefully resolving the situation without resorting to violence or involving law enforcement. Calling the police (A) may escalate the situation and may not be necessary if the trespasser leaves willingly. Using physical force (B) should never be the first course of action as it can lead to harm or injury for both parties. Detaining the trespasser (D) should also not be the first course of action as it may not be within the individual's authority or legal rights and can also be potentially dangerous. Therefore, asking the trespasser to leave (C) is the most appropriate and responsible first step in dealing with a trespasser.
