(1 point) timon had a right to expect that the bike would be safe. timon had a choice about which bike to purchase. timon had his essential needs met by the store. timon had his complaint heard by the government.

Explanation:

Under consumer protection law, when a store provides assembly services for a product it sells, consumers have a right to expect the product will be safe for normal use. The brake failure leading to injury violates this reasonable expectation of safety, making the store liable.
