Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
B) ZYX Cycle Company can reject the October shipment if it cannot be cured in a timely manner by Supertread. This is because the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) allows for rejection of goods that fail to conform to the contract unless the seller can cure the defect within the contract terms.
