Final answer:

All options (placing a suspect in a chokehold, slapping a suspect to get their attention, and pushing a non-compliant suspect) would be considered the use of force during an arrest. Therefore, the answer is 'None of the above'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of force during an arrest encompasses any physical contact by law enforcement to gain control of an uncooperative subject or to restrain a suspect. This includes putting a suspect into a chokehold, slapping a suspect, and even pushing them to make them move faster. Therefore, all options listed, A through C, would be considered a use of force during an arrest. Considering the actions of physically restraining a suspect and placing them in a headlock as described in the provided scenario, they too are examples of the use of force.
