What are the four essential elements of negligence?

Duty, breach, injury, unbroken chain
Duty, intent, injury, chain of custody
Duty, breach, intent, evidence
Duty, breach, injury, evidence

The correct answer is: Duty, breach, injury, unbroken chain

The four essential elements of negligence are duty, breach, injury, and unbroken chain. Option A is the correct answer because it correctly lists all four elements. Option B is incorrect because it includes "intent" instead of "unbroken chain." Option C is incorrect because it includes "intent" instead of "injury." Option D is incorrect because it includes "evidence" instead of "unbroken chain." Each element is essential in proving someone's negligence, and therefore all four must be present.
