A Correct answer
Explanation

This is TRUE. The right of stoppage in transit ends when the goods are delivered to the buyer or to someone identified as the buyer's agent. When the carrier holds goods as the buyer's agent, transit is deemed to have ended, and the seller loses the right to stoppage in transit. This is a fundamental principle of stoppage in transit under sale of goods law.
