Respuesta :

Answer:

Correct answer is b, there is no breach contract

Explanation:

There is no breach contract happened because what Friendly did is just a mere advertisement published in a news paper. What happened is that, Friendly notify the customers that they will be having a clearance sale for all the floor items that they had. Mere advertisement is not yet in the stage of contract to sell and the advertiser is not bound for any liability in case the product is not available at the time the customer decided to buy the product.
