Answer

Innocent misrepresentation.Fraudulent misrepresentation involves knowingly making a false statement. Negligent misrepresentation involves making a false statement without reasonable care to its truthfulness. Since the speaker was neither fraudulent nor negligent, but still misrepresented a fact, this falls under the definition of innocent misrepresentation.
