Answer: d. none of the above

Explanation:

The punitive damages are the damages in which the defendant is found guilty of doing wrong or committing an offense. The defendant is order to pay the compensation to the victim more than the actual loss of the victim. The punitive damages are awarded in addition to the actual damage of the victim. These damages are liable to be paid in case of torts and these are not awarded in case of breach of contract claim.
