The correct answer is: Verbal false comments that harm reputation

Option C is incorrect as slander is not a type of legislation, but rather it refers to a type of spoken communication. Option D is also incorrect as slander does not pertain to administrative rules, but rather it is more related to defamation and harmful speech. Therefore, the most accurate answer is option B.
