    B. Assumption of the risk

    Explanation:

    In law Assumption of risk involves preventing someone from claiming an accident damage due to the individual deliberately exposing himself to such danger.

    In this case the man saw how hot the food was when it was brought and decided to pray. He then leaned towards it and got burnt. He is solely responsible for this because his actions caused it and it's his sole responsibility.
