Answer: unfair competition

Explanation: it’s correct

Answer 2

Carlos committed the business tort known as "Injurious Falsehood ."

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlos intentionally made the false suggestion to cause damage to Barry's business, thus reducing his economic profits by $0.50 per wash and damaging his business reputation and the reputation of Barry's business as a whole. Carlos' aim is twofold: to reduce Barry's economic profits and to present Barry's business as performing below acceptable quality or using inferior materials for dry cleaning services. Therefore, Barry can prove that an injurious falsehood occurred by showing that Carlos employed malice to convince him to reduce his charges to $2.50 per wash for a limited period, and Carlos was fully aware that his suggestion was false when he made it.
