  1. A will not succeed, because B did not promise him to supply old rice.

  3. A will not succeed, because A should have verified the quality of rice himself.

B Correct answer
Explanation

When A specifically requested 'old rice' and B presented rice in response, this constituted an implied agreement that B was supplying rice matching A's specifications. By falsely representing the rice as old when it was not, B breached the contractual obligation. Under contract law and consumer protection principles, A has valid grounds to succeed.
