Option A.

Explanation:

Slander, is the right answer.

A false verbal comment about someone that harms the reputation of another person is called slander. slander is a formal violation (tort) and it can form the basis for a lawsuit. Costs (payoff for value) for slander may be limited to real losses unless there is wicked intention since such damages are normally challenging to define and more difficult to prove. Some comments, such as a false accusation of having engaged in a crime, having an obnoxious illness or being inadequate to complete one's job, are interpreted as slander per se since the harm and resentment are apparent and hence usually occur in common and even punitive loss recovery by the person hurt.
