California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Certification Practice Exam

Which liability includes payments to victims who bring civil lawsuits?

1. Criminal liability

2. Administrative liability

3. Civil liability

4. Ethical liability

The correct answer is: Civil liability

Civil liability refers to responsibility for payment or damages in a civil lawsuit. This type of liability is incurred when someone's actions or negligence cause harm or injury to another person or entity. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they refer to different types of liability that do not involve lawsuits for damages. Criminal liability involves punishment for breaking the law, while administrative liability refers to an organization's responsibility for the actions of its employees. Ethical liability refers to the moral obligation to act in a responsible and ethical manner. None of these options specifically address the question about civil lawsuits for damages. Therefore, C is the only correct answer.
