  2. Duty to act, Breach of duty, Damage, Cause

  3. Duty to act, Breach of duty, Injury, Causation

  4. Duty to report, Breach of duty, Injury, Cause

The correct answer is: Duty to act, Breach of duty, Injury, Causation

Negligence is a legal concept that arises when someone fails to take reasonable care that a responsible person would take under similar circumstances, causing harm or injury to someone else. In order to prove negligence, four elements must be met duty to act, breach of duty, injury, and causation. Option A is incorrect as "breach of confidentiality" is not part of the four elements needed to prove negligence. Option B is incorrect as "damage" is substituted for "injury", which are two different legal terms. Option D is incorrect as it incorrectly replaces "breach of duty" with "breach of confidentiality". The correct answer is C because it includes all four elements necessary for proving negligence- duty to act, breach of duty, injury, and causation.
