Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The courts facilitate such cases by implying a rebuttable presumption of breach of duty from the circumstantial evidence of the injury or loss. This means that if the injury or loss can be shown, it is presumed that the manufacturer breached their duty of care, unless they can prove otherwise. This presumption makes it easier for individuals like Raheel to pursue their claims.
