Intentionally setting fire to woods, brush, leaves, or similar material with the intent to let it escape to lands not his own is described as?

• A. Trespass
• B. Arson
• C. Vandalism
• D. Burglary

Answer: (B)

Arson is the correct concept here. It involves intentionally setting a fire to property with the purpose of causing damage or endangering others’ property. In this scenario, the person lights woods, brush, or leaves and aims for it to spread onto lands that aren’t his own, showing malicious intent to damage someone else’s property and create danger. Tresspass would be unlawful entry without necessarily involving fire. Vandalism covers deliberate property damage but not typically through fire. Burglary involves breaking in to commit a crime inside, not lighting a fire.
