Trevor and Roger, employees of Ezon Ltd., accidentally dropped a crate that they were unloading. The crate just missed an 80-year-old woman, Mrs. Sloe, who was on her way to the bus stop. She was not hurt at all, nor upset because it fell behind her. Just to be sure she wasn't hurt or upset, Trevor said, "Let me take your arm and help you to the bus." She agreed, so he took her by the arm and walked with her for the rest of the block. When they arrived at the bus stop where others were waiting, she then turned to him, screaming, "Let go of me! You have no right to touch me!" With that, she hit him with her purse. On these facts, which of the following is true?
A) Mrs. Sloe could successfully sue Trevor and Roger for negligence.
B) Mrs. Sloe could successfully sue Trevor for battery.
C) In law, battery was committed by Mrs. Sloe.
D) In a negligence action, the standard of care owed by workers is to do the best they can.
E) To avoid a negligence action, the standard of care owed by workers is to act sincerely and with goodwill.
