A Correct answer
Explanation

This is TRUE under Sale of Goods Act provisions for installment deliveries. When goods are delivered in installments and a buyer rejects any installment for breach (here, beet sugar instead of cane sugar), he can accept the compliant portion and reject the non-compliant portion, OR reject the entire contract. The buyer has these three options: accept compliant part only, reject non-compliant part only, or reject the whole.
