Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The "battle of the forms," as it is formulated under the Uniform Commercial Code,does not exist under the CISG.Rather,under the CISG,a reply to an offer purports to be an acceptance but in fact contains new or different terms or limitations that are material is a rejection and not an acceptance.
