Which of the following is an example of a tort related to negligence?

  1. Assault and battery

  2. Breach of contract

  3. Libel

  4. Negligent infliction of emotional distress

The correct answer is: Negligent infliction of emotional distress

A tort related to negligence is a type of civil wrong where the wrongdoer fails to take proper care, resulting in harm or injury to another person. Option A, assault and battery, involves intentional harm and is not considered negligence. Option B, breach of contract, is a violation of a legal agreement and not negligence. Option C, libel, is a form of slander or defamation and does not involve negligence. Therefore, D is the correct answer as it involves careless behavior that caused emotional distress to another person.
