Answer 1

Answer:

B) Risk liability under the doctrine of respondent superior

Explanation:

Risk liability under the doctrine of respondent superior is a legal law that is responsible for the tort of an employee who was committed to the development and course of the employment. The employer's liability originates from public notions. The employer is responsible for the actions of his employment with the norms that were signed by the employee during the time of an appointment.  

Two tests are conducted with the employees:

• For international misconduct

• For negligence misconduct.
