Question

Which of the following is NOT a tort?

• A. Negligence
• B. Battery
• C. Trespass to land
• D. Breach of contract

Hint:

Torts involve duties fixed by law, not by agreement — breach of contract involves agreed obligations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Torts are civil wrongs that arise independently of contracts. Examples include negligence, battery, and trespass.
A breach of contract, on the other hand, is a violation of the terms agreed upon by parties in a legally binding contract.
Hence, it is governed by contract law, not tort law.
