A young man earned millions of dollars by buying and selling bitcoin and a tabloid reporter tried to get an interview. The reporter rang the doorbell of the man's house, but the man refused an interview. The reporter then waited in his car and watched the man's house for an hour, returned to his house later that week, and again was refused an interview. The reporter followed the man to a restaurant, tried to take his picture, and again asked for an interview, but was rebuffed. In the young man's suit against the reporter for invasion of privacy based on intrusion upon seclusion, the reporter has moved for summary judgment.

The court will most likely:

A. Grant summary judgment because this sort of intrusion would not rise to the level of a Fourth Amendment violation.

B. Deny summary judgment because the attempts to get an interview were unreasonable and likely to be highly offensive to a reasonable person.

C. Deny summary judgment because the young man should have the opportunity to prove to a jury that the reporter acted in reckless disregard for truth or falsity.

D. Grant summary judgment because the attempts to get an interview were not unreasonable nor likely to be highly offensive to a reasonable person.
