Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sale of Goods Act allows contractual terms regarding quantity to be imposed. This law lays down specific rules for the sale of goods, including the obligation to deliver goods of the right quantity and quality. It also sets out remedies for breach of contract, such as damages, specific performance, and termination of the contract. Therefore, option C is the most suitable choice for this question. Options A, B, and D are not relevant to this situation as they do not deal with contractual terms regarding quantity.
