What is slander?

  1. Written falsehoods

  2. Verbal false comments that harm reputation

  3. A type of legislation

  4. An administrative rule

The correct answer is: Verbal false comments that harm reputation

Slander refers to spoken false comments that harm someone's reputation. Written falsehoods (option A) are commonly referred to as libel. Option C is incorrect as slander is not a type of legislation, but rather it refers to a type of spoken communication. Option D is also incorrect as slander does not pertain to administrative rules, but rather it is more related to defamation and harmful speech. Therefore, the most accurate answer is option B.
