Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Aggression involves intentionally inflicting physical or psychological harm on another. Unintentionally inflicting pain or unconsciously inflicting physical pain, while still negative behaviors, do not fit the definition of aggression as they lack the intentional aspect. Similarly, option C only involves inflicting psychological harm, while aggression can take on physical forms as well.
