A.use of force and violence.
B.causing alarm.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

The distinctive features of riot and unlawful assembly include all of the things listed.

An unlawful assembly of five or more persons has a common object, and if force or violence is used in pursuing that object it becomes a riot (sections 141 and 146 of the Indian Penal Code). The activity involves use of force and violence, it causes alarm to the public, and the violence is directed at a common purpose.

Since each of the first three describes a feature, choosing only one of them would be incomplete, so the option that covers all of them is the answer.
