A
All of the above.
💡 Explanation:
Libel is written defamation, while slander is spoken defamation. Libel is generally considered more serious than slander, as it is more permanent and can reach a wider audience. Additionally, libel requires special damages, which means that the plaintiff must prove that they suffered actual harm as a result of the defamatory statement.
