The 'standard of care' generally used in care of negligence is

  • A.the care taken by an intelligent and prudent man.
  • B.the skill and care taken by a qualified and competent person.
  • C.the foresight of an adult person.
  • D.the care and skill of a prudent and careful man belonging to defendant's calling or business or skill.

Answer: D

The standard of care in negligence is the care and skill of a prudent and careful man belonging to the defendant's calling, business or skill. A professional is judged by the standard of the ordinary competent person in that profession.

The other options state general or partial formulations, such as the intelligent and prudent man or foresight of an adult person, and do not refer to the defendant's calling, which is how the keyed answer is more specific.
