Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nasir can sue Ladd because Ladd committed the tort of battery by intentionally throwing the rock and causing harm to Nasir. Minh has no liability because they were not involved in the act of throwing the rock. The rightful owner of the rock may have some liability but it is unlikely to be significant compared to Ladd's intentional actions. Therefore, the best choice is A.
