A Correct answer
Explanation

The test to determine the liability under law of torts is to see whether any legal right of plaintiff has been violated or not. The maxim, injuria sine damnum means violation of a legal right without causing any harm to the plaintiff. Thus, it is actionable as a tort. Damnum sine injuria means that the plaintiff may suffer actual or substantial loss without any violation or infringement of legal right and therefore, no action lies in such cases.
