When does negligence arise?

When a duty of care is breached
When an act is illegal
When an act is wrong
When an act is negligent

The correct answer is: When a duty of care is breached

Negligence arises when there is a breach of duty of care, meaning that someone fails to fulfill their responsibility or obligation to prevent harm or injury to others. Option B, an illegal act, may also lead to negligence, but not all illegal acts necessarily involve negligence. Option C, an act being wrong, is too broad and does not necessarily pertain to negligence. Similarly, option D, an act being negligent, is too vague and does not fully explain the specific conditions needed for negligence to arise. Therefore, option A is the best choice as it clearly defines the triggering factor for negligence.
