Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

A finder who takes custody of another person’s goods must take the same care as a bailee under section 71. The absence of a contract does not remove that responsibility. The Act permits retention for lawful expenses and sale in specified circumstances, rather than giving an unrestricted expense claim or an absolute prohibition on sale.
