e. any of these would allow XYZ to be held strictly liable for Adam's injuries

Answer 1

Answer to the question is part E any of these would allow XYZ to be held strictly liable for Adam's injuries.

As in all the other parts it is mentioned that the business is either explosive or dangerous. As A part deals with selling of imported children's toys online that unknowingly contained lead paint and lead is harmful, can cause danger to children.

In part B business is of explosive chemicals across the country. Hence, again deals with harmful chemicals.

In part C, business they are talking is of manufacturing various nerve gases used in military-grade weapons, which can effect the brain neuro system of a person.

Part D deals with crop dusting business. It deals with chemicals, pesticides to be sprinkled etc. Hence, can easily be dangerous to anyone.

Hence part E can be correct that the company can be held liable for any of the four businesses mentioned.
