Defamation means any person who by spoken or written words, signs or visible gestures creates or publishes any imputation on any person with an intention to harm the reputation of that person. The person making such an imputation should have the knowledge or a reason to believe that such an imputation will ruin the reputation of the person. Hence Option A is correct.
