C Correct answer
Explanation

Under the Sale of Goods Act, conditions and warranties may either be expressed (explicitly stated in the contract) or implied (automatically incorporated by law). A condition is a stipulation essential to the main purpose of the contract, while a warranty is collateral to the main purpose. Both can be created by the parties' agreement or by operation of law. The law does not restrict how these stipulations must be created.
