A Correct answer
Explanation

Under commercial law and sales principles, the owner of merchandise retains legal rights over goods even after transfer to carriers or intermediaries. When third parties (such as carriers, warehouse operators, or other handlers) damage or destroy goods through negligent or intentional actions, the owner has standing to sue for damages. This principle protects property rights throughout the supply chain.
