What defense corresponds with the action of defending others?

Comparative negligence
Misuse
Assault
Alibi

The correct answer is: Assault

The defense that corresponds with the action of defending others is assault. This is because assault is typically used in cases where one person physically attacks or threatens to physically attack another person. In this case, the person defending others could argue that they used assault as a defense in order to protect those they were defending. Comparative negligence, misuse, and alibi are all incorrect as they do not have any direct relation to the action of defending others. Comparative negligence refers to assigning a percentage of fault to all parties involved in an accident, misuse refers to improper use of something, and alibi refers to providing evidence that you were in a different location during a crime.
