Which term means being aware that conduct is reasonably certain to cause the result?

• A. Intentional
• B. Knowing
• C. Harm
• D. Electric Utility Substation

Answer: (B)

Knowing means you’re aware that what you’re doing is reasonably certain to cause a particular result, even if you don’t intend that result. It captures the mental state of awareness that the consequence will occur because of your actions. This differs from intentional, which requires a purposeful aim to bring about the outcome. Harm describes the result itself, not the state of mind, and an electric utility substation is unrelated to the concept.
