    The correct answer is C. $6000

    Explanation:

    In a pure comparative negligence system, plaintiffs are compensated for damages based on each party's percentage of fault.

    Therefore,

    Patrick total loss = $10,000

    since Patrick's negligence = 40 percent responsible for his injury, Derek's negligence = 60 percent responsible

    Patrick will recover 60% of $10,000

    = 0.6 * 10000

    = $6,000
