Emmanuel Hart · Answer 1

Both I and II are correct

Explanation:

A tortious act can include the intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy etc. by one party to another party. Tort is the action brought forth by victims for the purpose of gaining financial compensation for injuries or losses suffered because of wrongful actions from another.

The party to which one or all of the above listed act is done to is called a claimant and they are usually awarded financial compensation.

Both options are correct because the injured or harmed person by a tort is called a plaintiff or claimant and the punishment for committing a tort is damages in form of money.
