Is C correct?
Yes.
Yes, C is correct. The concept of tort law in America started with the concept of trespass. To come to this answer, we can eliminate options A, B, and D as they are not directly related to the concept of tort law.
To support this answer, one can refer to the historical development of tort law. In common law systems, including the American legal system, tort law has its roots in English common law. In England, trespass to land was one of the earliest recognized torts. Trespass is the unauthorized and intentional interference with another person's property, such as entering their land without permission. This concept was carried over into American law, becoming a fundamental element of tort law.
It's worth noting that over time, the scope of tort law expanded to include other wrongful acts beyond trespass, such as negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and product liability. However, the initial concept of trespass laid the foundation for the development of tort law in the United States.
