Coercion is defined as which of the following?

• A. Writ of Habeas Corpus
• B. Civil Commitment Facility
• C. Dangerous Drug
• D. Coercion

Answer: (D)

Coercion means using threats, force, or pressure to compel someone to do something against their will. The question asks for the definition of coercion, so the best match is the term itself — coercion. The other options describe a legal remedy (writ of habeas corpus), a facility type (civil commitment facility), and a drug category (dangerous drug); none of these define coercion. In practice, coercion is about unlawful or improper pressure that overrides a person’s free choice, which is why the term itself is the correct definition here.
