Ask yourself this: 

What is a Libel tort?

 Defamation consists of two torts: libel and slander. The main difference between the two is the form in which the defamation occurs. Libel consists of any defamationthat can be seen, most typically in writing. Slander consists of an oral defamatory communications.

What is a fraud tort?

 Fraud is generally defined in the law as an intentional misrepresentation of material existing fact made by one person to another with knowledge of its falsity and for the purpose of inducing the other person to act, and upon which the other person relies with resulting injury or damage.

Oh, Look! That's our answer! The answer would be, B - fraud. The easiest way, which i have learned to do these kind of things, is to go through each of the answers and ask myself, what does this mean? Does it answer the question? If so that's your answer! Still, dont forget to double check all of the answers to make sure!

I think that the best answer would be A because libel means that you are publishing a false statement.
