Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Zelda can cancel the contract because the nonconformity of the berries (not meeting the specified size) substantially impairs the value of the goods to her, and the urgency of needing to complete a large order could make time of the essence, allowing for cancellation without offering a chance to cure.
