Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Trespass to goods protects possession or the legally relevant right to possess the chattel against direct wrongful interference. Ownership alone is not the defining protected interest: a bailee in possession can have the action even though another person owns the goods. The bailee's right to sue a wrongdoer is also recognised by section 180 of the Indian Contract Act 1872.
