B: divided into three branches of Government.
Answer:
A. liable to Will only if the company was grossly negligent
Explanation:
<em>Astor Manufacturing cannot be strictly responsible for Will's injuries since the cause of the accident was the earthquake</em> (C), not because of a company error.
Although the company fulfilled its duty to have the equipment to ensure that the chemicals didn´t explode,<em> it could become responsible so they actually exploded</em> (B)
In the fragment <u>"Jason" is never mentioned as someone who has voluntarily assumed the risk of injury</u>, option (D) makes no sense like an answer.
Therefore, Astor Manufacturing would be liable to Will only if the company had been seriously negligent. This was not the case, <em>but it should also be investigated why the latest generation equipment did not prevent chemicals from exploding.</em>
