Question: Which does not belong?

a.
b.
c.

Notes from yesterday:
- Use the windshield wiper to remove ice and snow
(instead of a scraper).
- Left blade separates from wiper arm mechanism (not good)
- Try unsuccessfully to re-attach wiper blade.
- Drive 1.6 mi (with 80% visibility) to get G from school.
- A light drizzle starts decreasing visibility on the trip home.
- Need it fixed for a 3pm appt.
- Call Steve but he is 40 mi away.
- Steve relays my SOS to his partner Simon, who is nearby.
(clarification: work partner)
- Simon arrives with a loaf of Italian bread from Santulli's
- Simon slips on porch steps ends up sprawled on our yard.
- I laugh hysterically. (??)
- Simon (the cardiologist) attempts the re-attachment
(while G and I eat the bread, which is delicious btw)
- Uncertain with the prognosis,
Simon says: " to be used: ONLY IN EMERGENCY"
- As he leaves, the dog bites him. (thankfully, does not break skin)
- For a second opinion, I pack G into the car head 1.5 mi towards dealership.
- Due to rain, switch on wipers but the wiper goes flying into the intersection.
- Retrieve it but not before it is run over by 7 cars.
- Due to 0 % visibility --stop the car three times to wipe the windshield with kleenex before arriving at the dealership.
- Dealership guy takes one look at my sopping wet hair, smeared mascara, bunched up kleenex in one hand and tattered wiper blade in the other...and replaces my blade free of charge.

Answer: C.
That's a windshield wiper blade after its been run over several times.
