Which are the two forms of TORTS?

• A. Negligence and gross negligence
• B. Intentional torts and strict liability
• C. Negligence and battery
• D. Defamation and negligence

Answer: (B)

Torts are civil wrongs that lead to liability, and they’re commonly grouped into two broad branches in this context: intentional torts and strict liability. Intentional torts occur when a person deliberately acts to cause harm or acts with substantial certainty that harm will result, such as battery or false imprisonment. Strict liability applies even when there was no intent or negligence—liability arises due to the nature of the activity or the type of harm, as seen in certain product liability or ultrahazardous activity cases. The other options mix categories (like tying a broad intentional tort to a single unintentional tort, or pairing an unintentional tort with another non-form category), which isn’t the framing this question uses. So the pairing that fits the two-form view is intentional torts and strict liability.
