Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

"Section 9" makes facts relevant when inconsistent with a fact in issue or when they make it highly probable or improbable, and inability to write bears on the allegation of personally writing the words, though it does not exclude responsibility through dictation or another mode of publication. "Section 11" concerns rights or customs, "Section 10" damages, and "Section 8" conspirators' acts or statements.
