उत्तर

B's death is not accidental, as there was a want of proper care and caution on the part of 'A'.

Explanation:

B's death is not accidental, as here was want of proper care and caution on the part of A. In Bhupender Singh A Chudasama vs State of Gujrat  AIR 1997 SC3790, The Hon'ble Supreme Court observed on the falls of a case before it. The primordial requirement of the exception that we get is that it should have been done "with proper Care and Caution".   
The reasonable conclusion drawn is that the B's death is not accidental, as there was a lack of proper care and caution on the part of A. So, "B’s death is not accidental, as there was want of proper care and caution on the part of ‘A’" is correct.
