NIZAMUDDIN PATHAN · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The correct statement is that the goods must be of satisfactory quality, not necessarily without any flaw. Merchantable quality means that the goods must be of a quality that is acceptable and fit for the purpose for which goods of that kind are usually bought, taking into account any description, the price, and all other relevant circumstances. It does not mean that the goods must be flawless.
