Which of the following statements supports the explanation of libel? Select one: a. Broadcast defamation, which involves both oral and visual impressions, is generally considered to be libel. b. Damages are presumed in libel cases even if the statement is not defamatory on its face. c. Oral defamation, causing injury to a person's reputation and causing that person considerable anguish and harm, is considered to be libel. d. Private statements between spouses may be defamatory and will be considered to be libel.

B). Damages are presumed in libel cases even if the statement is not defamatory on its face.

Explanation:

Libel is characterized as the 'published written or pictorial false statement which unjustly seeks to damage someone's reputation.' The statement which backs this definition would be 'damages are presumed in libel cases even if the statement is not defamatory on its face' as it is published information that has reached to the masses. Thus, serious damages are expected and therefore, the publisher needs to be sued for such a defamatory act. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
