b) false

Dewayne sold a space heater to Vivian, telling her it would heat a 200-square-foot area, even though he knew it would effectively heat only about one third of that space. It is true that Dewayne is liable for the intentional tort of fraud.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Tort means not revealing the important facts. And when some facts are not revealed willingly or knowingly than it leads to fraud. It includes making a statement which causes problem to the other party.

Fraud is actually the excluding of very important facts related to a contract. When those facts are excluded intentionally it affects the other party very badly which is dealing. Person responsible for the fraud will become liable towards the person bearing because of fraud.

Liability occurs in the form of reimbursement. Like Dewayne who is guilty of committing will have to reimburse Vivian for the damage he has to bear.

Reimbursement could be in the form of monetary compensation. It could also be in the form of injunction or restitution. Injunction means an authoritative order and restitution means restoration of something lost or stolen
