Which of the following is true regarding a lawsuit brought by Alice's parents against the manufacturer for strict liability as the theory is applied under Section 402A of the Restatement?
A) Because neither Alice nor her parents were in privity of contract with the seller, a lawsuit based on strict liability in tort is barred.
B) Privity of contract is not necessary in order to sue based on strict liability, so the fact that neither Alice nor her parents were in privity of contract with the seller would not prevent a strict-liability based action.
C) Although privity of contract is not an issue, Alice's parents would be unable to prevail in a strict-liability action because Alice did not sustain permanent physical injury.
D) Although privity of contract is not an issue, Alice's parents would be unable to prevail in an action against the manufacturer for strict liability because they did not read the instruction booklet.
E) Alice's parents would be prohibited from suing the manufacturer because of the federal law prohibiting lawsuits for failure to warn in cases involving children.
