Felix overhears Daniel telling a joke that makes fun of doctors. Felix’s mom is a doctor, and Felix is offended by the joke. Does Felix have a legal case against Daniel?

Speech does not generally become illegal just because it is offensive or makes fun of a group. A joke about doctors is not, by itself, a false statement of fact about Felix or his mother, so it is not libel. Felix’s offense alone therefore does not give him a legal case; offensive speech is generally protected by the First Amendment, making D the best answer.
