Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 151 requires the bailee to take "as much care of the goods bailed to him as a man of ordinary prudence would, under similar circumstances, take of his own goods of the same bulk, quality and value". The standard is the same whether or not the bailee is paid, and it is ordinary prudence, not an expert's highest care.
