Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The mirror-image rule that applies under common law does not apply under the Uniform Commercial Code.Under common law,the mirror-image rule states that an offeree's acceptance must be on the exact terms of the offer.If the acceptance includes additional terms,the acceptance becomes a counteroffer instead of an acceptance.Under the UCC,additional terms are permitted in contracts for the sale or lease of goods.Under UCC Section 2-207(1),additional terms do not negate acceptance unless acceptance is made expressly conditional on assent to the additional terms.
