Which of the following IS NOT an intentional tort?

  1. Battery

  2. Slip and fall

  3. Defamation

  4. Intentional infliction of emotional distress

The correct answer is: Slip and fall

Slip and fall is not considered an intentional tort because it is an accident and does not involve intentional harm or wrongdoing. The other options are all examples of intentional torts, where a person has deliberately caused harm or damage to another person, property, or reputation. Battery refers to physical contact without consent, defamation involves untrue statements that harm someone's reputation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress involves intentional or reckless conduct that causes severe emotional distress.
