Which of the following is listed as physical abuse in the described material?

• A. Hitting
• B. Spitting
• C. All of the above
• D. Cutting

Answer: (C)

Physical abuse involves using physical force to harm someone or to threaten harm, and the material provides concrete examples of actions that count as abuse. Hitting is a clear form of physical harm, cutting is a severe act that damages the body, and spitting can also be listed as a physical aggressive act in this context. Since the material identifies all three as forms of physical abuse, the option that includes every mentioned action is the best choice. In other words, recognizing that each listed behavior qualifies helps you see why “All of the above” is correct.
