Answer 1

Answer: (A)

no wrong is done to one who consents

The above latin phrase is a common law doctrine which denotes that if someone willingly places themselves in a position where harm might result, knowing that some degree of harm might result, they will not be able to bring a claim against the other party in tort. 'Volenti' is also known as "voluntary assumption of risk."
