Which of the following is NOT a required element of standing?

Standing tests who may sue by focusing on three elements: injury in fact, causation, and redressability. Injury in fact means the plaintiff has a concrete, particularized harm that is actual or imminent. Causation requires that the harm is fairly traceable to the defendant’s conduct, and redressability means a court can remedy the injury through relief or damages. Mootness, on the other hand, is a separate concept that asks whether there is a live controversy at all. Even if someone has standing, the case can still be dismissed if circumstances have removed the injury or made the court’s relief meaningless. So mootness is not a required element of standing.
