Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 6(3) of the Sale of Goods Act provides that where the seller purports to effect a present sale of future goods, the contract operates as "An agreement to sell the goods". Future goods are not yet owned or produced by the seller, so property cannot pass at once and there is no present sale. The statute fixes this result, so it does not depend on the facts of each case.
