Answer: B.) intentional infliction of emotional distress

Explanation: Emotional damage or distress often result from actions aimed at an individual's psychological system. Negative words, comments or analysis of an individual usually contribute a lot to the emotional trauma people usually witness which could result in loss of confidence or despondency. The professor's comment seems damaging and it is capable of inflicting emotional distresses on the target. Therefore, the professor could be held liable of intentional infliction of emotional distress on the student if sued.

Bakilana has intentionally inflicted emotional distress to Kiwanuka by taking extreme/outrageous conduct such as taking her passwords and mentally abuse Kiwanuka.

But, that's being said, Kiwanuka does not present any proof about her accusation. (recording or witnesses). If Kiwanuka provide them, as a judge I will rule in favour of her. But since there is still a reasonable doubt that the accusation is false, i would rule in favor of Bakilana.
