Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a seller may stop delivery of goods in transit to the buyer upon learning that the buyer has declared bankruptcy, regardless of the quantity of goods being shipped. This right is designed to protect sellers from the risk of non-payment in the event of the buyer's insolvency.
