Which of the following are considered types of harassment?

The identification of harassment includes actions that cause distress or discomfort to another person. The definition provided in option A encompasses a broad range of behaviors that align with this understanding. Specifically, actions that harass, annoy, or alarm another individual are explicitly recognized as harassment in Pennsylvania law. This could include persistent unwanted communications, intrusive behavior, or any conduct aimed at unsettling another person.

In contrast, while threatening physical harm and inducing fear through threats are serious actions and can lead to other legal classifications (such as assault or terroristic threats), they do not fully encapsulate the general definition of harassment. Disrupting legal proceedings, while disruptive and potentially contemptuous, also does not fit the broader context of general harassment, which focuses more on repeated annoying or alarming conduct rather than specific threats of violence or interference with the legal system. Therefore, the definition that includes actions intended to irritate or disturb someone best aligns with the legal framework pertaining to harassment.
