Strict liability crimes do not require proof of the defendant's intent or mental state at the time of the offense. These crimes are typically enacted to enforce public safety or welfare regulations, such as traffic violations or selling alcohol to minors. The correct answer recognizes that no intent or knowledge is necessary for guilt in these cases. The other answers incorrectly suggest that some level of intent, recklessness, or awareness is required, which is inconsistent with the definition of strict liability crimes.
