Answer:

B) The excitement of the accident and the speedy response of the rescuer would be considered in a case such as this.

Explanation:

D) is incorrect; the driver would have a defense if he could demonstrate that the rescuer's actions were reckless.

(A) is incorrect because, while the court can conclude that the rescuer recklessly put himself in danger, this is not an absolute defense.

(C) is an incorrect statement of law; assumption of risk may be applicable, depending on the circumstances, such as if the rescue were reckless.
