Answer 1

Option B.

Strict product liability refers to the law which requires the manufacturer to be liable for his actions if he produces and sells a defective product even if it did not harm the consumer.

The manufacture will have to pay a compensation amount to the consumer in this case without even proving his act of negligence in using the defective product.
