Non-compliance to a lawful request or direction using verbal defiance would be defined as

  1. Passive resistance

  2. Combative

  3. Cooperative

  4. Passive

The correct answer is: Passive resistance

Passive resistance is the correct answer because this term refers to a non-violent opposition to a particular policy or instruction, often in a political context. In this case, by disregarding or refusing to follow a lawful request or direction and using verbal defiance, the individual is not directly engaging in a physical conflict (which would be active resistance), but is instead indirectly challenging the authority. They aren't cooperating (which denotes agreement and support) or being combatively confrontational. They are resisting in a non-physical and passive way. This behavior falls under the category of passivity because it involves silent refusal, not aggressive push-back or acceptance.
