Robbery is the unlawful taking of personal property of another from his person or in his presence by what means?

  1. Deception

  2. Force or violence

  3. Negligence

  4. Fraud

The correct answer is: Force or violence

Robbery is the unlawful taking of personal property of another from his person or in his presence by force or violence. This means that the person committing the robbery uses physical force or the threat of violence to take someone else's personal property without their consent. The other options are incorrect because they do not involve taking property by force or violence. Deception involves tricking someone into giving up their property, negligence refers to not taking proper care of property, and fraud involves deception for personal gain. These options may also be unlawful, but they do not fit the definition of robbery.
