The ___ amount of governmental intrusion occurs at the narrow end of the subject control continuum.

• A. Least
• B. None
• C. Greatest
• D. Moderate

Answer: (C)

The idea here is that intrusion by authority rises as the available control options become more limited. When you’re at the narrow end of the subject control continuum, you have fewer, more restrictive tools to rely on, so you must apply more coercive or invasive measures to gain control. That increased need for force or restriction means greater intrusion into the subject’s autonomy, which is why the greatest amount of intrusion is the best fit. If you chose least or none, that would suggest minimal intrusion at a point where fewer options actually demand stronger, not lighter, intervention; moderate would understate the level of intrusion required.
