Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In choice B, the boat has been delivered to and accepted by Dan, making Dan a bailee. This is because a bailee is someone who has been voluntarily given possession of goods by another (the bailor) with the understanding that the goods will be returned or otherwise disposed of according to the bailor's directions. In this scenario, Hill (the bailor) rents the boat to Dan and gives him the keys, thereby transferring possession and making Dan (the bailee) responsible for the boat.
