C Correct answer
Explanation

Damnum sine injuria refers to damage or loss without infringement of legal rights. When someone exercises their ordinary lawful rights, even if it causes harm to another, it is not legally wrong because no legal right has been violated. This distinguishes lawful acts causing harm from wrongful acts causing injury to legal rights.
