What type of tort is an unintentional interference with the rights of another?

Strict liability
Breach of contract
Negligence
Defamation

The correct answer is: Negligence

Negligence is a type of tort that refers to an unintentional interference with the rights of another person. Strict liability, breach of contract, and defamation are all different types of torts that involve intentional or deliberate actions that cause harm or interfere with the rights of another person. Strict liability refers to a situation where a person is held responsible for the consequences of their actions, regardless of whether they intended to cause harm. Breach of contract is a civil wrong that occurs when one party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. Defamation is a type of tort that involves making false statements that harm a person's reputation or character. In contrast, negligence does not require intent, but instead focuses on the failure to take reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person.
