What is the crime outlined in section 279 of the Criminal Code?

Fraud
False Pretence
Kidnapping
Intimidation

The correct answer is: Kidnapping

Section 279 of the Criminal Code outlines the crime of kidnapping. This is different from the other options listed because kidnapping involves taking someone against their will and holding them hostage or taking them to another location without their consent. Fraud and false pretence involve deceiving someone for financial gain, while intimidation is the act of threatening or causing fear in someone. Therefore, these options do not align with the definitions and elements of the crime of kidnapping as stated in section 279.
