Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A buyer in the ordinary course of business (other than a person buying farm products from a person engaged in farming operations)takes free from a security interest created by his seller even though the security interest is perfected and even though the buyer knows of its existence [UCC 9-320(a)].
