Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

M.C. Mehta v Union of India developed the Indian rule of absolute liability for enterprises carrying on hazardous or inherently dangerous activities.

The Court also excluded the exceptions available under the older Rylands v Fletcher rule of strict liability.
