Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 39(3) provides that, unless otherwise agreed, where goods are sent "by a route involving sea transit, in circumstances in which it is usual to insure, the seller shall give such notice to the buyer as may enable him to insure them during their sea transit". The seller's duty is to give notice, not to insure the goods himself.
