Answer: (A)

A tort claim centers on bringing a civil action against someone who commits a civil wrong that causes harm or loss to another person. The statement fits that idea precisely: you sue the individual or entity in civil court to obtain relief for the harm suffered. The wrong can be negligent, intentional, or a matter of strict liability, and the usual remedy is damages to compensate the victim, though courts may also order injunctions or other relief in some cases. This distinguishes torts from contract breaches and from criminal cases, yet the core idea remains: a civil wrong causing harm, with the claimant seeking redress.
