Answer:

2. Libel

Explanation:

Libel is often described as a written statement made in "reckless disregard of the truth" that is considered damaging to a victim because it is "malicious, scandalous, and defamatory".

A libel most times disregards the truth nature of the statement being made.

Its intent is to paint someone or a group of people in bad light, hence making a victim of the person.

A situation whereby one goes ahead to make reckless statement about another without minding if what is been said is true, and also defaming the persons character through lies and malicious words, is simply a case of a libel.

Creativity and innovation are almost identical concepts. <br> a. True <br> b. False
kipiarov [429]
<span>True. Creativity and innovation are almost equal concepts because both are a source of new and creative ideas for designs, creations, thoughts, works of art and all kinds of projects that require creative thinking and constant innovation. They are not completely the same because creativity is creating in a different and particular way and innovation is the creation of novel works from new ideas not seen before. For this reason, they are almost the same.</span>
