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.

The statement is "True".

The investigation of Social Deviance is the investigation of the infringement of social standards.Social Deviance is a thing that has existed in all social orders where there have been norms.
