Which of the following describes negligence tort?

Negligence tort refers to a type of civil wrong that occurs when an individual fails to exercise a reasonable standard of care, which results in unintentional harm to another person. This is characterized by the breach of a duty of care owed to the victim.

In the context of the choices provided, C is correct because it encapsulates the essence of negligence: the act is not intentional, meaning the harm caused is not due to deliberate actions but rather due to carelessness or a failure to act according to established standards.

This contrasts with other forms of torts mentioned in the other choices, such as intentional harm, which highlights a purposeful action aimed at causing injury, or those that are inherently dangerous, which typically involve activities or actions that present a risk of significant harm regardless of the intent. Additionally, the requirement of proving actions beyond a reasonable doubt pertains to criminal law rather than civil law, where preponderance of the evidence is the standard used in negligence claims.
