Answer:

C). Common law.

Explanation:

'Common law' is demonstrated as the unwritten or implicit laws that are established on the basis of legal decisions(or judicial precedents) of the courts. These laws assist the courts to make decisions in the unusual cases(in which the subsisting laws cannot help in decision-making) on the basis of legal precedents.

In the given case also, the court will apply 'common law' as the case is quite uncommon and since, the existing 'good samaritan' laws do not contain a provision regarding this. Thus, the court would now take the decisionon the basis of past jurisdictions or legal precedents after analyzing the situation and hearing both the clients effectively. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
