Answer 1

Answer

Right answer is D.If a seller gives a written warranty, the warranty must be designated as full or limited.

The Magnuson-Moss Act specifies a number of requirements that warrantors must meet. In addition, Congress directed the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to adopt rules to cover other requirements. The Act and the FTC Rules provide three basic requirements that apply to either warrantors or sellers:

1. Warrantors must designate or title a written warranty as either "full" or "limited".
2. Warrantors must state certain information about the coverage of the warranty in a single, clear, and easily readable document.
3. Warrantors or sellers must ensure that warranty is available where the warranted consumer product is sold so consumers can read the warranty before buying.
