What is the legal concept of "duty" as defined in tort law?

A moral obligation
The payment of a financial penalty
An obligation owed to the public
An obligation owed to a specific party

The correct answer is: An obligation owed to a specific party

In tort law, "duty" refers to the legal obligation of a party to exercise reasonable care to prevent harm or injury to another party. This duty is owed to a specific person or group and is not just a moral obligation. Options A and C may seem similar, but they are incorrect because they refer to a moral or general obligation, rather than a legal obligation. Option B is incorrect because it refers to a penalty or consequence, rather than an obligation. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
