Solution

The correct option is C intention is relevant only in some torts
Under Criminal law, intention is an essential constituent of an offence whereas under tort which is a civil wrong, there are different acts which are considered to be wrong irrespective of intention such as negligence and there are certain acts where intention is necessary to prove such as assault or battery. Therefore, we can see that intention though a part of tort but is not an essential part and is relevant for certain torts.
