Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under section 155, where the bailee mixes the bailor's goods with his own with the bailor's consent, both "shall have an interest, in proportion to their respective shares, in the mixture thus produced". The interest is proportionate, not equal, and neither party becomes sole owner.
