What offense involves threatening someone with SBI and causing a response by emergency services?

  1. Terroristic Threat

  2. Reckless Damage or Destruction

  3. Endangering a Child

  4. Deadly Conduct

The correct answer is: Terroristic Threat

Terroristic Threat is the correct answer because this offense involves intentionally or knowingly threatening someone with imminent bodily injury and causing a reaction from emergency services, law enforcement, or any other governmental agency. This offense is specifically designed to address threatening behavior that causes fear or alarm in the public or a specific individual. Reckless Damage or Destruction, Endangering a Child, and Deadly Conduct do not specifically involve the element of making a threat or causing a response by emergency services, making them incorrect choices for this scenario.
