A Correct answer
Explanation

A tort is defined as a civil wrong (as opposed to a criminal wrong) for which the primary remedy is an action for unliquidated damages. Unlike liquidated damages which are predetermined amounts specified in contracts, unliquidated damages are determined by the court based on the actual loss suffered. This distinction is fundamental - tort compensates harm through court-assessed damages rather than fixed penalty amounts.
