"Inattentive Driving." Molly, a first year law student, decided to skip class and drive off campus to check on her new dress for the upcoming school dance. While driving, Molly is busy talking on her cell phone with her friend Sharon to convince her to going to the dance with Molly's brother who has a big crush on Sharon. Unfortunately for Molly, there is a statute in her state outlawing talking on a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle. Molly crashes into the side of Sam's new convertible when she looks down to pick up a can of soda she just dropped onto her new jeans. A police officer just down the street comes over to investigate. Molly explains to him that it was difficult to hold the cell phone in one hand, the soda in the other, and also drive. The officer was not impressed. Around that time Sam comes along. He is furious regarding the significant dent in his new car. Molly says she has insurance and that she will cover the whole incident. Sam says that is insufficient; but Molly says that under case precedent, that is his only remedy. The officer is annoyed because it is his lunch break. He tells Molly that she must obey duly authorized law, and proceeds to write several citations to her.

Which of the following is true regarding Molly's predicament?
a)Sam can prosecute Molly in a criminal action, but he cannot sue her in a civil action.
b)Molly can be sued for a civil action and must pay for Sam's car, but she cannot be prosecuted for a criminal violation.
c)Molly can be given a ticket and prosecuted criminally by government officials, but she cannot be sued for a civil violation.
d)Molly can be sued in a civil action by Sam, and she can also be prosecuted by the government for a criminal violation.
e)So long as Molly has insurance and can pay for Sam's vehicle damage, she cannot be prosecuted in a civil or criminal action.
