Each question consists of legal principle(s) (here-in-after referred to as 'principle') and facts. Such proposition may or may not be true in the real and legal sense, yet you have to conclusively assume them to be true for the purposes of this section. Principles have to be applied to the given facts to arrive at the most reasonable conclusion. Only one of the alternatives, i.e. [a], [b], [c] or [d] is the most reasonable conclusion. In other words, in answering the following questions, you must not rely on any principle except the principles that are given herein below for every question. Further you must not assume any facts other than those stated in the question. The objective of this section is to test your ability in legal aptitude, study of law, research aptitude and problem solving ability even if the 'most reasonable conclusion' arrived at may be absurd or unacceptable for any other reason.

Principle Nothing is an offence by reason of any harm it may cause to another person, if it is done in good faith and for the benefit of that person even without that person's consent.

Facts 'A' is attacked by a lion and lion drags him while he is crying for help. 'B', a passerby picks up A's gun in good faith and fires at lion which injures 'A'. 'B' has never used the gun before.

A) 'B' is liable for the injury because he knew that he can injure 'A' as he has never used any gun before

B) 'B' is not liable as he has done the act in good faith

C) 'B' is liable because he has not taken A's consent before firing

D) 'B' is liable because he has used A's gun without his consent
