Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 151 measures the bailee’s care against what a person of ordinary prudence would take of their own goods under similar circumstances. The comparison must account for goods of the same bulk, quality and value. It is an objective standard, rather than whatever care this particular owner happens to take or an unusually exacting standard of high prudence.
