Eleanor tells Irene the artwork is a worthless piece of junk, so Irene sells the painting to Aziz at a yard sale for $50. The following week, Irene finds out that Aziz sold the painting for $12 million dollars at auction, after an appraiser at the auction house determined it is the work of a famous painter named Thomas Gainsborough. Furious, Irene sues Eleanor. What result

a. Eleanor will not be liable, because most people would not know that the painting was by Thomas Gainsborough.

b. Eleanor will not be liable as long as she can prove that Aziz did not know the painting was valuable when he bought it.

c. Eleanor will be liable if Irene can prove that all appraisers would recognize the painting as being valuable.

d. Eleanor will be liable if Irene can prove that the best appraisers would know that the painting was by Thomas Gainsborough
