Answer:

c. contributory negligence

Explanation:

Negligence occurs when a party does not do what is required of him in a given situation. It is being careless with one's responsibility.

Contributory negligence is when one does not show sufficient care for himself or is acts in such a way that contributes to an accident.

If a defendant is able to prove contributory negligence in the case of an accident the plaintiff will not be able to recover any damages.

For example if one enters a busy road when a green light for cars was on and there is an accident. He put himself in harm's way and will not be able to claim damages because he has contributory negligence
