The first alternative is correct (A).

Making a false statement about someone in a deliberate manner is considered defamation. This is a very serious thing and can be dealt with criminally. If the defamed person has moral, psychological, or financial prejudice, she may seek justice and prosecute the person who has defamed her.

It is very important to respect people, their attitudes and what they think, regardless of whether you agree or not. We live in a diverse world, in a democratic system, so that individual freedoms can not be attacked.
