Answer 1

The correct answer is:b. Strict liability rule is easier to administer than negligence.Explanation:- The strict liability rule holds firms liable for damages regardless of whether they took precautionary measures. This simplifies the administrative process for courts as they do not need to determine the firm's level of care or diligence.- The negligence rule, on the other hand, requires courts to assess whether the firm exercised reasonable care, which can be a more complex and time-consuming process.
