Active
Efficient
A & B are correct
None of the above
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. Efficient
Proximate cause is the legal concept that determines which party is legally responsible for an injury or damage. The proximate cause is the “efficient” cause, which is the cause that sets in motion a chain of events that produces the injury or damage.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the concept of proximate cause.
- Active cause is a cause that is directly involved in producing an injury or damage. However, an active cause is not necessarily the proximate cause. For example, if a person is injured in a car accident, the driver of the other car may be the active cause of the injury, but the proximate cause may be the person’s own negligence in failing to wear a seatbelt.
- None of the above is also incorrect because it does not accurately describe the concept of proximate cause.
