d: Even if Phil could have easily escaped through an open window, Doris is still liable. INCORRECT

Answer 1

According to some jurisdiction, If Phil slept through the entire period that the door was locked and he was unaware that he was being detained then this will be escaping the liability and Doris cannot sued for false imprisonment.
