Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is B

Actions outside the scope of employment are basically acts tha dont fall anywhere within the the job description or were completely unanticipated from the employer's standpoint. So francis having lunch is outside the scope of employment because he's not hired to meet up with friends and eat.
