Final answer:
Tort liability is false as it arises involuntarily from one party causing harm to another in civil law, with examples like personal injury, and requires proving a defendant’s action caused harm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Tort liability is not civil liability that is voluntarily assumed, making the correct answer B) False. Tort liability arises involuntarily as a result of one party causing harm or injury to another.
It is an integral part of civil law, which focuses on wrongs against individuals or entities, rather than against society as a whole, which would involve criminal law.
Tort claims typically require the plaintiff to prove that the defendant's action or inaction caused harm, and that there was a duty of care owed by the defendant to the plaintiff. Examples include personal injury, negligence, and defamation.
