Explanation:

- Option 1: Wrongful restraint

This occurs when someone voluntarily obstructs another person, preventing them from proceeding in a direction they have the right to go. This action limits the person's movement without necessarily confining them to a specific location.

Correct Answer

- Option 2: Wrongful confinement

This is more severe as it involves restricting a person's personal liberty by confining them within defined boundaries, effectively imprisoning them.

- Option 3: Illegal detention

This typically involves detaining someone without legal justification. It is not a precise legal term but is often used to describe unlawful imprisonment.

- Option 4: None of the above

This would imply that none of the options accurately describe the situation.
