Answer:

The answer is D, the reporter is liable for a claim of libel

Explanation:

First of, we need to understand that libel in it self refers to a false statement or report published against an individual and of which the report has a very high tendency of tarnishing the individuals image. In order words, it can also be refereed to as the defamation of character where the victim in this case is refereed to as the character.

So,  referring back to the question. As a reporter, it is assumed that proper diligence has been done in respect to investigation or investigative journalism as some like to call it before going before the public to declare such a defaming statement and in such a case where such sequentially, the statement comes to be a false statement, the reporter and in some cases the firm at large is liable for a claim of libel.

So as related to the question asked, the answer is D.
