Answer 2

Answer:

b. because Alonzo is not in the business of selling TV's

Explanation:

First, the multiple options for the question are as follows:

A. because Alonzo exercised care in selling the Tv

b. because Alonzo is not in the business of selling TV's

c. Because the TV was not unreasonably dangerous

d. Because the TV was probably not defective when Alonzo sold it

First, Strict liability alleged by Ralph against Alonzo means to impose a liability on another person without finding a fault such as negligence or tortious intent.

it should be noted that this strict liability is usually used on cases that involve the sales of a defective product

However, this imposition cannot be made on Alonzo because although Alonzo sold the TV, he is not into selling TVs and cannot be held liable for knowingly selling a defective product. he sold his pesonal item along other items so he cannot be held for selling a defective Television.
