Tony has breached the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Mark explicitly informed Tony that he needed lumber that could resist decay due to the damp environment around his cabin. Tony assured Mark that the lumber he provided would meet those requirements. However, the lumber did not withstand the damp environment, which means it was not fit for Mark's particular purpose.
