Romanov's Lawyer Suggests That He Did Not Know That the Meat

Romanov's lawyer suggests that he did not know that the meat labeled as "chicken" was actually squirrel meat, and therefore lacked the requisite criminal intent to violate any federal laws that may be relevant.This claim:

A) is sound defense that is likely to be successful.
B) is undermined by the fact that his conduct involved a strict liability offense.
C) is only applicable to lower-level employees.
D) would be relevant if Boris Romanov's company only introduced small quantities of tainted squirrel meat into the stream of commerce.
