A man was injured while riding a mechanical bull owned by an independent contractor at a state fair. He paid to ride the bull and signed a form that he understood the risk of injury. After he was injured, he sued the fair that provided the ride for negligence. You would expect the court held that:
 a. the fair was not liable because it did not own the ride; but the owner of the ride could be found liable in strict liability because it knew of the dangers
  b. the fair was not liable because it did not own the ride; but the owner of the ride could be found liable in negligence because it knew of the dangers
  c. the fair and the owner of the ride could both be liable in negligence
  d. the fair was liable in negligence because it had the primary responsibility to its patrons not to provide dangerous amusements in a negligent manner
  e. the man assumed the dangers voluntarily so could not sue for the injuries he suffered
