B Correct answer
Explanation

A finder of goods becomes a bailee and is subject to the same responsibilities as a bailee under law. This means they must take reasonable care of the found goods, make reasonable efforts to find the true owner, and return the goods. They do not become owner, cannot sell the goods, and have a legal obligation to return them.
