单选题 Manufacturers as mentioned in the passage tend to ______.

A、 satisfy customers by writing long warnings on products
B、 become honest in describing the inadequacies of their products
C、 make the best use of labels to avoid legal liability
D、 feel obliged to view customers' safety as their first concern

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[详细解答] 短文第2段第1句说：“公司感到(赔偿的)威胁，便作出反应，写出的警告标签越来越冗长，以期预测任何可能出现的事故”。这样就可以“逃避法律的责任”，故选项[C]最能说明厂商的真实意图。而不是[A]“为使消费者满意”，[B]“诚恳地说出其产品的不足”或[D]“把消费者的安全看作头等大事”。
