Correct option is D
Punching the victim is an example of
direct, active, and physical aggression. This type of aggression involves intentional physical harm or force directed towards another person, and it is explicit and observable.
Information Booster: Aggression can be categorized based on its nature and intent.
Direct aggression targets the victim openly, while
active aggression involves taking direct action to harm. When combined with physical means, such as hitting or punching, it is termed direct, active, and physical aggression. This contrasts with verbal aggression (e.g., insulting) or passive aggression (e.g., refusing to speak), which are non-physical. Understanding these distinctions is important in psychology and behavior management.
