Guy Yamoto, who was certified in first-aid techniques, observed an accident scene as he was driving to work. Although no one was offering help at the accident site, it did not appear to Guy that the accident was very serious and so he drove on. He later learned that a person died who probably could have been saved easily through proper application of first aid. If the heirs of the deceased

discovered that Guy had passed the scene without offering to help, then they would a. not have a cause of action, because the law generally does not require that a person not a party to an accident volunteer to render aid. b. have a cause of action only if the state had a so-called "Good Samaritan" statute. c. have a cause of action because Guy was certified in first-aid techniques. d. none of the above
