A Correct answer
Explanation

This is TRUE. When a buyer rightfully rejects goods and the seller refuses or neglects to take them back, the buyer becomes an involuntary bailee of those goods. As bailee, the buyer can charge the seller for storage and maintenance expenses. This prevents injustice to the buyer who is stuck with goods they lawfully rejected and protects their right to reimbursement for caring for the seller's property.
