Match the List-I and List-II and select the correct answer using the codes given below it :

List-I	List-II
(i) Salus populi suprema lex	(a) Plantiff is not entitled for compensation if he voluntarily taken the risk
(ii) Respondent superior	(b) Held the master liable as all the acts done by the servant during employment are presumed to be done by his master
(iii) Damnum sine injuria	(c) The welfare of the people is the supreme law
(iv) Volenti non fit injuria	(d) If there is no infringement of right, the plantiff is not entitled for claim

Code :

Answer: A

The correct code is (i)-(c), (ii)-(b), (iii)-(d), (iv)-(a).

Salus populi suprema lex: the welfare of the people is the supreme law, the basis of defences such as necessity.
Respondeat superior ('let the master answer', printed 'Respondent superior'): the master is liable for torts of the servant in the course of employment.
Damnum sine injuria: damage without infringement of a legal right gives no claim, as in Gloucester Grammar School.
Volenti non fit injuria: one who voluntarily accepts a risk cannot claim for harm from it.

The other codes mismatch at least two maxims, for example pairing damnum sine injuria with consent to risk.
