Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Strict liability is imposed in situations where one engages in inherently dangerous activities, produces or sells products, or keeps dangerous animals, regardless of the level of care taken. Medical malpractice, however, is based on negligence or failure to meet a standard of care, not strict liability.
