D Correct answer
Explanation

Slander and libel laws protect reputation from false statements. 'Irresponsible' means not showing proper care or consequences, which perfectly describes the harmful spread of falsehoods that damages someone's reputation. The other options don't fit: inferential means based on inference, inevitable means unavoidable, incontestable means undeniable, and responsible is the opposite of what's needed.
