Which is an example of disorderly conduct?

• A. Driving under the influence.
• B. Trespass.
• C. Littering in public.
• D. Public intoxication.

Answer: (D)

Disorderly conduct centers on actions in public that disturb the peace or threaten public safety. Being visibly intoxicated in public can lead to behavior that disturbs others, causes a nuisance, or creates a sense of danger, so public intoxication can be charged as disorderly conduct when it disrupts the public space or safety.

Driving under the influence is primarily a traffic offense involving operating a vehicle while impaired, not a public disturbance. Trespass concerns unlawful entry onto property, not disruption of public peace. Littering in public is about disposal of waste and may violate environmental or local rules, but it doesn’t inherently involve disturbing the public peace.
