Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jill's statement would be considered defamation, but none of the specific terms provided (proximate defamation, defamation by default, defamation qua non) are standard legal terms for describing defamation. Defamation involves making false statements that harm someone's reputation, but the options given do not accurately describe types of defamation.
