Well, option B is clearly the odd one out here. Intentional infliction of emotional distress is all about the defendant's actions, not the victim's employment status. I'd say that's a pretty straightforward answer.

B) The victim was an employee of the defendant? Huh, that's a bizarre requirement for intentional infliction of emotional distress. I thought it was all about the defendant's outrageous conduct, not their relationship to the victim.
