elements of a tort are
a. duty and breach
b. injury and causation
c. both a and b
d. none of these

Explanation:

To determine the elements of a tort, we recall that a tort requires (1) a duty owed by the defendant to the plaintiff, (2) a breach of that duty by the defendant, (3) an injury suffered by the plaintiff, and (4) causation (showing the breach caused the injury). Option a includes duty and breach, option b includes injury and causation. So both a and b are elements of a tort.

Answer:

c. both a and b
