Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

For ordinary non-delivery of goods available in the market, damages reflect the difference between the market price at the time and place of breach and the agreed contract price. This compensates the buyer for the extra cost of obtaining equivalent goods, subject to proof of loss and reasonable mitigation. An unspecified fair or reasonable price does not replace the market-price measure.
