    Option D is correct

    Explanation:

    The company is liable for proper communication of cautions, defective designs and production processes that she uses to manufacture the product but it is not liable for the the consumer unforeseeable misuse of a fan. Because it is not associated with the duty of care. I also have a duty of care to myself like you have to yourself. If I have struck myself with a hammer then it unjustifiable to sue the company. I am misusing that hammer. I don't have the license but still I am driving car, it means I am misusing the asset. This means some operations are restricted by law and some are implicitly restricted.
