BThe perfect tender rule requires the seller to deliver goods that conform exactly to the terms of the contract. In choice A, the color of the refrigerator does not match the contract specifications, allowing Bill to rightfully reject the goods. In choice B, the presence of a dent could be considered a defect, making the goods non-conforming to the contract, which also gives Bill the right to reject them.
