Libel
Fraud
Slander
Malpractice

The correct answer is: Slander

Slander is the making of false statements that can cause harm to another person's reputation. Libel refers to written or published false statements, which is not mentioned in the question. Fraud is the deception or intentional misrepresentation for personal gain, and it does not necessarily involve damaging another's reputation. Malpractice typically refers to professional negligence or misconduct and is not specific to damaging someone's reputation. Therefore, slander is the most suitable term for the given definition in the question.
