The Gloucester Grammar School case explains -
Correct Answer: D — Damnum sine injuria
This doctrine states that mere financial or economic loss, without the violation of a legal right, is not actionable in law. The defendant, a schoolmaster, set up a rival school near the plaintiff’s school in Gloucester. As a result, many students left the plaintiff’s school to join the defendant’s, causing the plaintiff financial loss due to a decline in student admissions.
