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

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

El derecho a la vida se exige constantemente, a través del propio ejercicio de este derecho.

Así, el derecho a la vida se exige viviendo plenamente, en libertad y buscando constantemente la felicidad propia y de nuestros seres queridos.
