What type of disturbance could involve a physical altercation?

1. Disturbance—Business

2. Disturbance—Fight

3. Disturbance—Family

4. Disturbance—Noise

The correct answer is: Disturbance—Fight

The choice that best represents a situation that could involve a physical altercation is the one related to disturbances classified as fights. This type of disturbance typically indicates that there is ongoing aggression or an event where individuals are physically clashing, which inherently suggests the potential for a physical altercation. While disturbances in a business setting or family disturbances can lead to conflict, they do not necessarily imply a physical fight. Noise disturbances typically deal with excessive sound and are unlikely to involve any physical confrontation. Therefore, when considering the nature of physical altercations specifically, disturbances categorized as fights are most directly linked to such scenarios.
