Which of the following best describes slander?

  1. Spoken falsehood

  2. Written falsehood

  3. A legal judgment

  4. A tax requirement

The correct answer is: Spoken falsehood

Slander is a type of defamation that involves making false and damaging statements verbally to others. This is different from written forms of defamation, known as libel, which involves making false statements in writing. Legal judgement and tax requirements are not relevant in this context and do not describe slander.
