Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices listed (self-defense, defense of others, defense of property, and consent) are valid defenses to intentional torts. Self-defense requires that a person has a reasonable belief that their safety is at risk, and they use reasonable force to protect themselves. Defense of others allows one to use reasonable force to protect someone else who is in danger. Defense of property allows one to use reasonable force to protect their property from being damaged or taken without permission. Consent is a defense when the plaintiff has given prior agreement to the behavior that caused harm.
