According to the text for this course, _____ is the doctrine that imposes liability on the defendant, regardless of fault.

Medical malpractice
Strict liability
Negligence
None of the above

The correct answer is: Strict liability

Strict liability is the doctrine that imposes liability on the defendant, regardless of fault. This means that even if the defendant did not intend to cause harm or was not negligent, they can still be held responsible for any damages or injuries caused. Option A, medical malpractice, refers to a specific type of professional negligence in the medical field. Option C, negligence, is a legal concept that holds individuals responsible for their actions or lack of actions that result in harm to others. Option D, "none of the above," is incorrect because strict liability is a valid legal doctrine, as mentioned in the question.
