If a business fails to comply with safety regulations, what term best describes their situation?

  1. In compliance with the law

  2. In breach of the law

  3. In adherence to guidelines

  4. In support of regulations

The correct answer is: In breach of the law

When a business fails to comply with safety regulations, it is said to be "in breach of the law." This term indicates that the business has not met the legal requirements set forth by regulations that are designed to ensure safety. A breach signifies a violation or failure to observe the legal standards that are expected within a certain industry or practice. In contrast, the other options suggest favorable compliance or support of the regulations, which is not applicable since the scenario describes a failure to meet required standards. Understanding that "in breach of the law" pertains specifically to non-compliance helps clarify the legal implications for the business in this context.
