Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exculpatory clauses that release a party from liability for its own negligence are generally viewed as against public policy and therefore unenforceable. While the enforceability of such clauses may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances, option D is the safest choice as it correctly recognizes the potential unenforceability of the clause without making any assumptions about the property or parties involved.
