— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
Battery（毆打/身體侵犯）是指在未經同意的情況下，對他人進行蓄意且非法的人身接觸。在醫療中，若未取得同意即執行侵入性治療，即構成 Battery。B 選項是 Assault（恐嚇），指讓人感到受威脅但尚未接觸；D 選項是 Negligence（過失）；C 選項是 Breach of Confidentiality（違反保密）。
Battery refers to intentional and unlawful physical contact with another person without consent. In a health-care setting, performing an invasive procedure without obtaining consent constitutes battery. Option B describes assault, which is making a person feel threatened without actual physical contact; option D is negligence; option C is breach of confidentiality.
