If security encounters a subject that refused to comply with their directions but did not do anything to physically harm you, the subject would be

Assaultive
Cooperative
Active resistant
Passive resistant

The correct answer is: Passive resistant

In this context, the term "passive resistant" refers to an individual who is refusing to comply with directions, but not actively or physically resisting in a way that could potentially harm someone. This could involve actions such as refusing to leave a location when instructed, or not following security protocols as directed. For example, a person refusing to leave a restricted area in a mall when requested by the security, but not actually physically resisting or being aggressive toward the security guard would be considered as being "passive resistant". This individual is not cooperating (so they are not cooperative), but they are also not engaging in physical resistance or confrontational behavior (so they are not assaultive or active resistant). Rather, they are passively resisting by simply failing to comply with the instructions provided by the security personnel.
