Due diligence is not a defense for an absolute liability offense. This is because absolute liability offenses do not require a defendant to have any knowledge or intent in order to be found guilty. Therefore, even if a defendant takes all necessary precautions and shows due diligence, they can still be held liable for an absolute liability offense. Option A is not correct because due diligence cannot be used as a defense for absolute liability offenses. Option C is incorrect because due diligence does not affect the outcome of a case for absolute liability offenses. Option D is also incorrect because the question is asking about due diligence as a defense, so it is specified in the question.
