True.

Explanation:

Assault and Battery is a criminal activity in which two crimes are included, Assault and Battery.

Assault is the crime in which a person attempts a threat or threatening behavior on the other. The motive of this harm will be determined as an intentional harm to injure.

Battery, on the other hand, is the crime using physical violence or touching another person harmfully or violently.

In the given case, Mark can sue Danny for Assault and Battery case in the Civil Courts. Because Danny's behavior was threatening and he used physical violence also on Mark by punching on him.

So, the correct answer is Assault and Battery.
