A civil wrong not arising from a breach of contract but arising from a breach of a legal duty that causes harm or injury to another is called:

Intentional infliction of emotional distress
Tort
Felony
Assault

The correct answer is: Tort

Tort is the correct answer because it is the legal term used to describe civil wrongs. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the given definition. Intentional infliction of emotional distress is a type of tort, but it only covers cases in which emotional harm is caused intentionally. Felony is a criminal offense, and assault is a subset of intentional torts, meaning it is a specific type of civil wrong. Therefore, B is the best answer that describes the given definition.
