Option B states that there is an implied condition that goods sold will be of "merchantable quality." This means that the item must be fit for the normal purpose for which such goods are used, and be of a quality and condition that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable. If the item is not of merchantable quality, the buyer can demand a refund. Option A is incorrect because strict liability applies only to certain types of products, such as food and drugs. Option C is incorrect because discontinued items are not exempt from the implied condition of merchantable quality. Option D is incorrect because title refers to ownership, and it is not relevant to whether the item is functional or of merchantable quality. Option E is incorrect because exemption clauses may limit a seller's liability, but the implied condition of merchantable quality cannot be excluded or modified by such clauses.
