Solution
The correct option is B Careless
'Negligent' means failing to take proper care over something.
"the council had been negligent in its supervision of the children in care"
In this context, "The jury found that the manufacturer was negligent in installing safety devices", 'negligent' means careless. Hence, option B is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
