Destroyed by the derailment of the train carrying them due to railroad employee negligence.d. Improperly packed by the party shipping them

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": Improperly packed by the party shipping them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carriers are liable for the loss of goods being transported by them under three scenarios: acts of God (because they are unpredictable), acts of the shipper (negligence of the person providing with the goods being transported), and acts of a public enemy (a country engaging into the war).

In that case, the carrier is likely not to be found liable if the shipping items were incorrectly packaged the sending party.
