The argument's conclusion can be properly inferred if which one of the following is assumed?
One should pay for any damage that one's action leads other people to cause if one could have reasonably expected that the action would lead other people to cause damage.
One should pay for damage that one's action leads other people to cause only if, prior to the action, one expected that the action would lead other people to cause that damage.

Ms. Sandstrom knew that her column could incite trespassing that could result in damage to the Mendels' farm.
The Mendels believe that Ms. Sandstrom is able to form reasonable expectations about the consequences of her actions.
