Final Answer : I, Explanation :  Res ipsa loquitur is a rule of evidence that allows a plaintiff to establish a presumption of negligence on the part of a defendant through the mere fact of an accident occurring, suggesting that such accidents do not happen without negligence. It is not a rule of substantive law but rather a principle that helps in proving negligence in malpractice suits.
