Armando is spending an autumn weekend at Maria's Bed and Breakfast in Vermont. Armando has a comfortable room on the second floor, right next to the bedroom where Maria herself sleeps every night. On the third night of Armando's stay, Maria wakes up to the smell of smoke and realizes the Bed and Breakfast may be in grave danger. She walks past Armando's bedroom door, goes down the stairs and strolls out the front door to safety. Armando does not wake up and suffers severe burns when the fire reaches his room ten minutes later. If Armando successfully sues Maria, the court most likely:

a. applied the duty of care exception under Osterlind v. Hill.
b. made a mistake. Maria owes Armando no duty of care.
c. applied the duty of care exception under Soldano v. O'Daniels.
d. applied the duty of care exception under Tarasoff v. Regents University of California.
