On his way back home, he was wondering what his legal responsibility would be in relation to the bowl. Which one of the following statements is true?
A) Because this is a gratuitous bailment for Jurg's benefit, Jurg must be reasonably careful that no harm or damage comes to the punchbowl.
B) Because this is a gratuitous bailment, Jurg has no legal obligation in relation to the punchbowl.
C) Because Jurg borrowed the punchbowl, he must return it in the same condition and is liable for any damage howsoever caused.
D) Because Ethan lent the punchbowl to him reluctantly, the rules of an involuntary bailment apply.
E) Because the punchbowl is valuable, the rules of a bailment for value will be enforced.
