Answer 1

Answer: (B)

by reason of first fact

The term Ipso Facto is a Latin term which means "by the fact itself". It is a term used to refer to the state of something being the inevitable result of an existing state of affairs, rather than being dependent on other factors. It means that a specific phenomenon is a direct consequence, a resultant effect, of the action in question, instead of being brought about by a previous action.
