Correct option is B
The scenario where 'A' threatens 'B' by saying, "I will see you later," does not amount to assault under the IPC. Assault under Section 351 of the IPC requires an overt act or gesture that creates a reasonable apprehension of immediate physical harm in the mind of the victim. A vague threat like "I will see you later" does not create an immediate fear of physical harm and therefore does not constitute assault.
Information Booster: Assault involves a direct threat or an act that puts the victim in immediate fear of unlawful physical force. The mere words spoken without any immediate threat of action or without creating a fear of instant harm do not amount to assault. The law requires that the threat be real and imminent to qualify as assault.
