Question

Riley Bates · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : E, Explanation :  Statements A, B, C, and D could be considered misrepresentations if they are false, potentially leading to legal action for false advertising, product liability, or fraud. Statement E, however, is a time-limited sales offer and does not make any claims about the product's quality or characteristics. Therefore, it would not have the same legal consequences if incorrect, as it pertains to the offer's validity period rather than the product's attributes or performance.
