Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Causation in legal and philosophical terms typically involves two elements: the actual cause (also known as "cause in fact") and the proximate cause (or "legal cause"). The actual cause refers to the direct cause of an event, while the proximate cause relates to whether the cause is legally sufficient to hold someone responsible.
