Seriously, who comes up with these weird answer choices? Being an employee of the defendant has nothing to do with intentional infliction of emotional distress. This exam is clearly testing our ability to spot the random outlier.

Well, option B is clearly the odd one out here. Intentional infliction of emotional distress is all about the defendant's actions, not the victim's employment status. I'd say that's a pretty straightforward answer.

I think the answer is B) The victim was an employee of the defendant.
