Larry had an aquarium which contained his pet shark, "Razor.". One of Larry's friends Dennis Dimwit put his hand in the tank to pet Razor. This frightened the shark and as it bolted away, its strong tail broke one of Dennis' fingers. Which is the likely result?

a. Dennis will prevail on a theory of strict liability because the shark is a wild animal.
b. Dennis will not prevail on a theory of strict liability because the shark has become domesticated.
c. Dennis will not prevail on a theory of strict liability because the dangerous propensity of the shark is to cause injury by biting, not swimming away by using its tail.
d. None of the above is likely.
