Answer: d. file a motion to dismiss.
Explanation:
A Motion to Dismiss can be filed by either the Plaintiff or the Defendant but is usually done by the defendant when they believe that there is no validity to the claims of the plaintiff.
In this instance, Manufacturing Corporation does not believe that it is liable for the claims made by the Plaintiff which means they are question the validity of those claims. They can therefore file a motion to dismiss the case.
