Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
False imprisonment involves the intentional confinement of a person without lawful privilege and against their consent within a limited area for any amount of time, without the necessity of harmful or offensive physical contact. This makes option C, which mentions harmful or offensive physical contact, not a required element for false imprisonment.
