The legal defense required in this case was due diligence, which means that the organization must prove that they took all reasonable precautions to prevent the safety offences from occurring.

B) Reasonable cause relates to the suspicion of criminal activity, which is also not relevant in this case. D) Shared defense refers to multiple defendants sharing responsibility for an offence, which is also not applicable here.
