A, C, and D are the key elements for sure.

I thought distress had to be immediate, not long-term.

I'm a bit uncertain about this one. I know the defendant has to act intentionally, but the two-year thing seems off to me.

I practiced a similar question where the focus was on the defendant's intent and the nature of their conduct. I think that might help here.

I think option B is the one that doesn't fit because I don't recall any requirement for the distress to last two years.

I remember that to prove intentional infliction of emotional distress, the conduct has to be extreme and outrageous, but I'm not sure about the time frame for the distress.
