The implied warranty of merchantability under the UCC means that the goods are fit for the ordinary purpose for which such goods are used. This means that the goods should be of average quality and should meet the reasonable expectations of the buyer. Option A refers to the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, which requires that the goods be specifically suitable for the buyer's stated purpose. Option C refers to the requirement that goods be suitable for resale at an acceptable price, which is not part of the implied warranty of merchantability. Option D is incorrect as it is too broad and does not accurately describe the implied warranty of merchantability.
