The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The concept of “no-fault liability” means that compensation must be paid to the victim regardless of whether negligence or fault can be proven against the person responsible.
It is often applied in cases such as motor vehicle accidents (under Motor Vehicles Act provisions) and in hazardous industries where proving fault could delay justice.
Option (a) implies negligence-based liability, where fault must be established, which is not the case in no-fault systems.
Option (b) is similar—liability based on fault requires proof, making it incompatible with no-fault principles.
Option (d), freedom from liability, is the opposite of what “no-fault liability” entails; here, liability exists even without proving fault.
Thus, option (c) is correct because “absolute liability” under no-fault systems bypasses the need to prove negligence, ensuring speedy relief to victims.
