Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": product liability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Product liability refers to the liability a manufacturer may have for placing a defective product into the consumer's hands. This set of rules implies that products must meet certain quality standards so it can be included inside a distribution chain.

In Luke's case, the product liability applies since even his hands were injured due to a defective disk that melt his game player and started a fire.
