In order to be a battery, a touching of another person must be:
  1. Offensive to a person of normal sensibilities.
  2. Offensive to anyone.
  3. Offensive to a particularly sensitive person.
  4. Accidental.
  5. Painful.
Explanation
Answer: A. In order to be a battery, a touching of another person must be offensive to a person of normal sensibilities. If the person is particularly sensitive to contact from another person such that even the slightest touch would be considered offensive, a court would not find that touch to amount to a battery. For a touch to be battery, it must have been intentional.
