Answer

The answer is:

  • The tort of public disclosure of private facts
  • The tort of intrusion
Explanation
Option 1: Tortious interference with privacy

This is not a recognized tort. The term "tortious interference" typically refers to interference with contractual or business relationships, not privacy.

Option 2: The tort of public disclosure of private facts

This is a recognized privacy tort. It involves the public revelation of private information about an individual that is not of public concern and would be offensive to a reasonable person.

Option 3: The tort of intrusion

This is another recognized privacy tort. It involves the intrusion into a person's private affairs or solitude in a manner that would be highly offensive to a reasonable person.

Option 4: Tortious interference with a contract

This is a recognized tort, but it pertains to interference with contractual relationships, not privacy.
