__________ propounded the theory that the primary purpose of the law of Tort is social engineering.

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

William L. Prosser described tort law in terms of social engineering. The idea is that tort rules adjust competing claims: the injured person's demand for protection, the defendant's freedom of action, and the wider public interest. Tort law therefore does more than compensate an isolated loss; its rules also shape how those interests are balanced. This is the tort-law attribution asked here.
