What is the defense associated with the crime of burglary?

  1. Comparative negligence

  2. Misuse

  3. Assault

  4. Alibi

The correct answer is: Alibi

Burglary is the act of unlawfully entering a building or other structure with the intent to commit a crime. The defense associated with burglary is an alibi, which is evidence that indicates that the defendant was in another location at the time the burglary occurred and therefore could not have committed the crime. Comparative negligence, misuse, and assault do not pertain to burglary and are incorrect choices because they are either unrelated legal concepts or do not provide a defense for the crime of burglary.
