Roscoe is building a new home. After hours, he invites his friend Jacob to see the home which is in a state of partial construction. While visiting, a roof tile falls from the roof and injures Jacob. Jacob sues the roofing contractor, RoofCo, alleging negligence under a theory of res ipsa loquitur. RoofCo employees were the only ones on the roof earlier that day. In his suit, Roscoe:
a. Will likely not prevail on a theory of res ipsa loquitur because roof tiles regularly fall off roofs without anyone being negligent. b. Will likely not prevail on a theory of res ipsa loquitur because Jacob should have anticipated a roof tile would fall on him. c.
