Answer 1

The correct answer is a. Must be done with the specific intent to annoy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a. Must be done with the specific intent to annoy.

PC 653m, also known as lewd phone calls, is a crime that involves making annoying or harassing phone calls. The person making the phone calls must have the specific intent to annoy, which means they make the calls with the purpose of causing annoyance or disruption to the recipient.

This crime does not require the inclusion of threats of injury to the person called. It is also important to note that repeatedly calling and hanging up is considered harassment and can be a crime under PC 653m.
