Denise had been shopping in Pets Are Us and left the store to go to her car in the store's parking lot without having made a purchase

Cassandra, a security person with Pets Are Us, thought she had seen Denise put tin of fish food in her purse while standing in front of one of the counters. Cassandra asked management to call the police and followed Denise to her car, and stood immediately behind it so that Denise could not reverse out of the parking space.

When the police arrived it turned out that Denise had not taken anything from the store but had simply removed her watch and placed it in her purse. Which of the following is TRUE?

A) The business would be liable for false imprisonment as Denise was physically restrained from leaving the premises.
B) The business would not be liable for false imprisonment as Denise had not been physically restrained and was free to leave her car and walk away at any time.
C) The business would be liable because although no actual touching occurred there was a threat of physical restraint.
D) The business would not be liable as there had been no threat of embarrassment or public humiliation to Denise.
