Information that is false, person who disseminates it knowing that it is false.

• A. Mal-information
• B. Disinformation
• C. Ontological Truth
• D. Moral Truth

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is intentional deception through spreading false information. When someone deliberately shares information they know is false in order to mislead others, that is disinformation. The defining element here is the intent to deceive combined with knowingly false content, which distinguishes it from mere mistakes.

Context helps: misinformation is false information shared without the intention to deceive—people may believe it’s true and pass it along anyway. Mal-information involves true information used to cause harm. Ontological truth and moral truth are philosophical terms about what is real or what is morally right, not about the act of spreading false content.

So, the statement aligns with disinformation because it describes spreading false information with knowledge of its falsity to deceive.
