The duty of care in tort law is measured under a:

Reasonable person standard

Tort law is an area of law that governs civil wrongs, including negligence. The duty of care is the legal responsibility to act with reasonable care to avoid causing harm to others. In tort law, this duty is measured by the reasonable person standard. This means that a person is expected to act with the same level of care and caution that a reasonable person would in the same situation. Option B, the prudent attorney standard, is not a measure of the duty of care in tort law. Option C, the responsible person standard, is not a recognized standard in tort law. Option D, none of the above, is incorrect because the correct standard is the reasonable person standard.
