C. One

Explanation:

Defamation is the sending out of false/information in order to tarnish someone's reputation.

Defamation is a big offence due to the damage it causes. Once a person's reputation is called into question it is always difficult to repair it. Defamation may be aimed at just a group of people or just a person. It may also involve a person or people as the target audience.
