Marilyn brought her $300 silk dress to University Dry Cleaners to be cleaned. On the back of the ticket she received in exchange for the dress was written, "liability limited to five times the cost of cleaning." Marilyn's dress was lost and University now claims it owes her only $50, five times the cost of cleaning. Is that true?

A) Yes, because Marilyn is a bailor.
B) No, because the cleaner is not a common carrier.
C) No, because the limitation was not communicated to her before she bailed the property.
D) Yes, because the cleaner had the right to limit its liability to a reasonable amount.
