Assumption of risk bars or reduces recovery only when the plaintiff actually understood and appreciated the specific danger and then voluntarily chose to confront it. Option A states both required elements (knowledge and voluntariness), so it is correct. Options B and C misstate the standard: a signed release or the plaintiff's constructive knowledge is not, by itself, sufficient. Option D concerns mitigation of damages, which is irrelevant to the assumption-of-risk defense.
