Answer to Question 1

C

Photographing clients without their knowledge and prior permission is a crime of libel. Slander refers to malicious verbal statements that are false or injurious. Malpractice is the improper, injurious, or faulty treatment of a client that results in illness or injury. Assault is a threat or an attempt to do bodily harm; it includes physical or verbal intimidation.

Cornea influences visual acuity by refracting light. Eyelids are the retractable covers for the eye's anterior surface. Lacrimal glands produce tears and keep the eye surface moist and lubricated. The iris gives the eye its specific color.
