Solution

The correct option is B Actual or intended striking of another person.
Battery is nothing but hitting someone intentionally with a view of causing hurt. "Battery" is the purposeful contacting of, or utilization of power to, the body of someone else in a hurtful or hostile way. A battery is quite often gone before by an assault, which is the reason the term is frequently utilized transitionally or joined, as in " battery."
