Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The commercial disparagement is a type of 'tort' in which a person makes some derogatory statement against the business or a person causing them harm. It is also known as business disparagement.

Though it can be hard for the plaintiff to prove commercial disparagement yet certain parameters or prerequisites are laid in the law which can be shown as proof. One of the prerequisites is to show financial loss occurred due to the slander or libel. The plaintiff can show his/her financial losses occurred after the libel is traded in the market.

Therefore, option D is correct.
