Answer :
Final answer:
Provision allowing a merchant to cure defective or non-conforming goods under the UCC is an exception to the Perfect Tender Rule, hence the correct answer is a. Perfect Tender Rule.
Explanation:
The provision under the UCC that permits a merchant the opportunity to "cure" by replacing non-conforming or defective goods is an exception to the Perfect Tender Rule. The UCC allows merchants a chance to correct or replace non-conforming goods, which is directly related to the merchant's obligations under their warranty to provide goods that adhere to the contract's specifications.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'a. Perfect Tender Rule'. The other options do not directly pertain to the ability to cure under the UCC. The Doctrine of commercial impracticability relates to situations where unforeseen events make the fulfillment of the contract unduly burdensome. The Statute of frauds deals with the requirement that certain contracts must be in writing to be enforceable.
Lastly, the Implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose refers to a seller's assurance that goods will perform a specified task as indicated to the buyer at the time of sale. Hence, the direct answer to the student's question is 'a. Perfect Tender Rule'.
