The answer is: d. Politicians and entertainers.

Defamation refers to a false statement made by a certain group or individual to hurt the reputation of other group/individual.

Targets of defamation are most likely to be the people that would experience economic downfall or benefit depending on how the public view them, Such as politicians and entertainers.
