What are wrongful acts done on purpose?

• A. Negligent acts
• B. Intentional Tort
• C. Involuntary Acts
• D. Civil Offenses

Answer: (B)

Wrongful acts done on purpose are intentional torts. An intentional tort is a civil wrong in which the person deliberately performs the act that intrudes on another’s rights, such as assault, battery, false imprisonment, or trespass. The defining element is intent to perform the act itself, not merely the outcome. This sets it apart from negligent acts, which arise from carelessness or a failure to exercise reasonable care, not from purposeful behavior. Involuntary acts aren’t purposeful, and while civil offenses can cover various non-criminal civil wrongs, the term that specifically captures wrongdoing carried out with intent is an intentional tort.
