Final answer:

Touching a person's body without consent is considered assault.

Step-by-step explanation:

Touching a person's body without his or her consent is considered assault. Assault refers to the intentional act of causing apprehension of harmful or offensive contact with another person.

For a physical contact to be legally recognized as assault, it doesn't require actual physical harm or injury to occur. It is enough that the action causes the person to fear an imminent harm or offensive touch.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is: c) Assault.
