The state's statute of repose for strict liability is three years, which means that Leonard cannot sue Astralibra Inc. for strict liability after December 15, 2014. Since Leonard decided to sue Astralibra Inc. on December 15, 2016, his right to sue has been denied due to the statute of repose. Therefore, D is the correct choice.
