The tiger escapes and injures Betsy's neighbor Mary Jo. What is the likely result if Mary Jo sues Betsy? Betsy loses because she was engaging in an abnormally dangerous activity O Betsy wins because she exercised every possible precaution and could not have foreseen Julie's actions. O Betsy wins because her actions were not against the law in her State. O Betsy loses because she was negligent in safeguarding the tiger. O None of these is correct.
