Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under Section 5(2) of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, a contract of sale may be made in writing, or by word of mouth, or partly in writing and partly by word of mouth, or may be implied from the conduct of the parties. Statements B, C and D therefore restate the section correctly. Statement A is wrong, because the Act requires neither writing nor registration. Every other option includes statement A, so the answer is "B, C and D only".
