Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Tort
Slander is defamation in a transient form, chiefly spoken words or gestures, and is a civil wrong for which the injured person can sue for damages in tort. It does not arise from any agreement, promise or relationship of trust, so quasi-contract, breach of contract and breach of trust do not describe it.
