In MC Mehta’s case, The court emphasised that such industries are strictly liable for any damage caused by the escape of hazardous substances. Bachawat’s The Law of Torts  book, frequently references the Rylands v. Fletcher case and its principles to provide guidance on the doctrine's application within the Indian legal context. Hence, option (d) is correct.
