Practice question

Which is correct?
- The stipulated due-care accident is not culpa merely because injury occurred.
- Every harmful result conclusively proves negligence.
- Due care automatically proves deliberate intent.
- A lawful task can never have an accidental consequence.
- The worker's occupation alone determines guilt.
