Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a merchant-seller bears the risk of loss if the goods are damaged or destroyed before the buyer takes possession if the seller is a merchant who deals in goods of the type sold. However, if the seller is a non-merchant, then the risk of loss remains with the buyer. Therefore, option C is correct as it specifies that the merchant-seller bears the risk of loss, but not the non-merchant seller.
