Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In a destination contract, the title and risk of loss pass to the buyer once the seller tenders goods at a place as per the contract. The seller is responsible for seeing that the goods reach their destination. Choice A is incorrect because it describes a shipment contract, not a destination contract. Choice B is incorrect because in a destination contract, title and risk of loss do not pass until the goods reach the agreed-upon destination. Choice D is incorrect because the seller does bear responsibility for ensuring that the goods reach their destination in a destination contract.
