Answer:
C) false and damaging to someone’s reputation
Explanation:
The First Amendment protects a series of rights, such as the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
But the First Amendment does not protect slander, libel or defamation. When it occurs in speech it is slander and when it is printed it is libel. It is not a negative opinion, it is a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts.
