A. Yes, if the girl was negligent.
B. Yes, because the girl's mother is responsible for any harm caused by the girl.
C. Yes, because the girl's mother assumed the risk of her child's actions.

Yes, since the girl's mother accepted responsibility for her child's behavior. A further explanation is below.

The mother didn't pressure this same vehicle but remained close to her daughter throughout all circumstances; the mother DID watch her, but the child must have been moving the cart as well as she DID crash, even though she had no intention of doing so.
Therefore the daughter was not completely careless, however, the mother was partly to blame, therefore the only alternative which thus remains is choice C.
