Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The issue of whether the restaurant is liable in this situation depends on whether the incident was reasonably foreseeable. If it was reasonably foreseeable that a child could stick a fork into an electrical outlet, then the restaurant may be deemed negligent for failing to have child protective guards on the outlets. Therefore, answer choice A is the best choice. Answer choice B is not relevant to determining the restaurant's liability. Answer choice C (negligence per se) and answer choice D (ultrahazardous activity) are not applicable to this situation.
