    Answer:slander

    Explanation:Slander refers to oral defamation, in which a person spread lies about another person, these lies are very likely to ruin the reputation of this other person who is being defamed. Slander ranges from saying that a person has malicious disease, or telling people that someone has committed a crime, these are the obvious ones which may lead to punitive damages but most of them are hard to prove in court. When someone says something untrue about someone else on TV or radio, this is not considered slander but libel, because it is considered to be a written defamation based on the fact that this reaches many audience in the same way as published news.
