B. Hill rents a boat to Dan. The boat is located at a lake 30 miles away. Hill gives Dan keys to the boat. Dan drives to the lake and takes possession of the boat. In this case, the boat has been delivered to and accepted by Dan, and Dan is a bailee.

Explanation:

Option B is correct because it gives a full meaning of who a "bailee" is.

Dan is the bailee here because the boat he rented from Hill has been delivered to him as a hirer he is. There was no transfer of ownership to him.

A bailee is a person or party who receives goods from a bailor (owner) for a specific purpose, without any transfer of ownership.

Options A, C and D are incorrect because they do not fulfil the definition of a bailee.
