Go with C. When I was attacked the actual physical attack was Battery, while any verbal threats were classified as Assault. The attacker was found guilty of Battery for actually touching me, and ended up paying a fine and being placed on probation

C
assault is only a (realistic) threat
From the source:
"Assault is any intentional or reckless act that causes someone to fear or expect immediate unlawful force or personal violence. Battery is the intentional or reckless infliction of unlawful force or personal violence. The two offences may often be committed together. Assault on its own, however does not necessarily involve physical injury or contact: the apprehension or fear and expectation of such violence is sufficient. Assault is an offence which carries penalties of fines and/or imprisonment."

assault is only the verbal threat of doing harm to someone while battery is actually performing the act using a instrument; assault and battery is verbally and physically attacking someone!

Battery is the physical contact against a persons body
Assault can be in many forms but doesn't have to be physically

E- Assault is can be without physically touching someone, battery can only be physical, you can actually assault someone without them expecting you to touch them(verbal assault for example)

C
pointing your finger at someone can be argued as assault, whereas slapping them is battery.

I would ask no matter which one of these is right, why is it only some certain people can get away with it and that the laws don't seem to hold for all?
