Multiple select question.

False imprisonment

Answer 1

The torts that involve making a false statement are:

- **Defamation**
- **Disparagement**

**Defamation** involves making a false statement about someone that harms their reputation, while **disparagement** involves making false statements about a person's goods or services that harm their business.

**Private nuisance** and **false imprisonment** do not primarily involve making false statements. Private nuisance relates to the use of one's property that interferes with another's enjoyment of their property, and false imprisonment involves unlawfully restraining someone.
