Legally responsible: Liable

The answer to the last quiz is c) liable.  And here's why :)

Liable (adjective): This means that a party is legally responsible for their actions or omissions under civil law. Omissions means that a party did not do something that they should have done. If a party is liable then the court will usually order the liable party to remedy the damage or problem. This can be with money, known as damages, or action, known as an injunction. Associated Words: Damages (noun), Injunction (noun), Party (noun).
