The answers are letter A

Explanation:

Because when you claim that the stament is true there is no defamation. In criminal cases, if a person was conviccted by homicide, you cannot defame that person by telling people that fact, because it is public knowledge. However, if it is a civil case, the truth must be shown by the written evidence.

The other defenses are: there must be harm, communication, given consent, privilege or immunity can be claimed, and if the defense proves that it is only an opinion and not a statement. These are the defense ways to neutralize a defamation accusation.
