C Correct answer
Explanation

A libel is a published false statement that damages someone's reputation - a type of defamation. Option C correctly captures both the act (statement) and the effect (damaging reputation). Pride and honour are positive traits - the opposite of what libel attacks. Insult is related but doesn't necessarily involve published falsehood or reputation damage.
