Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) allows for the limitation or exclusion of consequential damages unless such limitation or exclusion is deemed unconscionable. This means that parties to a contract can agree to limit or exclude consequential damages as long as the agreement is not so unfair or oppressive that it shocks the conscience of the court.
