Final answer:
The removal of the wrong tooth is an example of a tort of commission, not omission. It involves performing an incorrect action, not failing to act, so the statement is false. so, option b is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The removal of the wrong tooth would typically be classified as a tort of commission rather than omission. This is because the act of removing a tooth is an action that was taken, albeit the incorrect one, rather than failing to take an action. Thus, the statement that the removal of the wrong tooth is an example of a tort of omission because the correct tooth was not removed is false. A tort of omission would generally refer to a scenario where a duty of care is not performed at all. An example of this would be a dentist neglecting to treat a decaying tooth leading to further complications.
The statement is False. The removal of the wrong tooth is actually an example of a tort of negligence, not omission. A tort of omission occurs when an individual fails to act when they have a duty to do so. In the case of removing the wrong tooth, it is an act of negligence because the dentist has a duty to exercise reasonable care and skill in performing the procedure.
