Wait, are we sure these weren't just 'free-range' in a very literal sense? Maybe the supplier was just being 'eggcentric' with the contract terms. I'll go with C on this one.

As a baker, I know how important it is to use the right ingredients. I'd say B is the way to go - the supplier really 'cracked' the contract here.

Haha, the supplier must have been 'scrambling' to find a way out of this one! I'm going with A - this is definitely a breach of a condition.

C seems like the correct answer to me. The specification is not an official part of the contract, so the supplier's actions do not constitute a breach.

I think the answer is B. The supplier's failure to provide free-range eggs is a fundamental breach of the contract, which entitles Sarah to terminate the agreement.
