I'm just hoping the supplier doesn't try to pull a fast one and claim the contract was never breached in the first place. That would be a real plot twist!

This is a tough one, but I think the answer is B) conflict resolution. It's like a diplomatic solution, where the buyer is trying to work things out with the supplier instead of going straight to the nuclear option.

I'm feeling confident that the answer is B) conflict resolution. The buyer is trying to resolve the issue with the supplier instead of going the legal route. It's like a diplomatic solution, you know?

Hmm, I'm leaning towards D) assigning liability. The buyer is acknowledging the supplier's breach, but still wants to work with them, so it seems like they're determining who is responsible.

I'm not sure about this one. It could be A) affirmation of the contract, since the buyer is choosing to continue the relationship despite the breach.
