Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To prove strict liability for abnormally dangerous activities, the plaintiff must show that the defendant discharged an abnormally dangerous substance or engaged in an abnormally dangerous activity, and that the discharge or activity caused the plaintiff's harm.

Option B is incorrect because it only focuses on the discharge of a substance, but abnormally dangerous activities can also involve non-substance-related activities (such as blasting). Option C is incorrect because it only focuses on causation, but the abnormally dangerous activity requirement is also necessary. Option E is incorrect because the defendant's intent is not relevant for abnormally dangerous activities; it only applies to intentional torts.
