Plaintiffs can sue under the privacy torts, which traditionally have been categorized as intrusion upon seclusion, appropriation of name or likeness, publicity given to private life, and publicity placing a person in false light.
Plaintiffs may also sue under a contract theory in certain situations, such when a physician, financial institution, or other entity holding sensitive information breaches a promise of confidentiality and causes harm.
The answer is D. Intrusion upon seclusion and defamation are discussed in the book under workplace privacy. Infliction of emotional distress is available as an added-on civil tort with other forms of privacy torts, such as intrusion upon seclusion. The only one that makes sense in this scenario is conversion because it involves property.
