Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- Option 1: A shakes his fist at Z, intending or knowing Z will think he’s about to get hit. That’s classic assault. It’s about making someone believe an attack is coming, even if it doesn’t happen.

- Option 2: A medical exam of a woman without her consent isn’t assault; it could be outrage of modesty (Section 354) or even battery if there's actual contact, but just the examination itself—consent is key, but the principal legal issue isn’t assault unless force or threat is involved.

- Option 3: Throwing brickbats into someone’s house is more about criminal intimidation, mischief, or even attempt to cause hurt. But unless someone’s present and the thrower intends them to think they’ll be hurt immediately, it’s not textbook assault.

The right option is Option 1.
