Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The salesperson's promise that the new computer system would be compatible with the existing equipment, which turned out to be false, constitutes misrepresentation. Additionally, the promise can be seen as a warranty (a guarantee about the product), which was breached when the system was not compatible.
