The correct option is D because, under the UCC, an implied warranty of merchantability is present in every sale of goods made by a merchant. This warranty states that the product is fit for its ordinary purpose, in this case, cooking food properly. Mason has the right to expect that the rotisserie will be fit for its ordinary purpose and should be able to seek recourse from the seller.
