(a) That's wrong. 

You were asked to select the statement for which the case of Varley v Whipp [1900] 1 QB 513 provides authority.

Varley v Whipp is authority for the statement that, when goods are bought and sold, if the goods delivered by the seller to the buyer do not accord with the description under which those goods were bought, the buyer does not become the owner of those goods and may reject them.

Varley v Whipp is not authority for the statement that, wen goods are bought and sold, then as soon as goods are delivered by the seller to the buyer, the buyer can reject those goods if they suffer from a defect that makes them unmerchantable.

Varley v Whipp is not authority for the statement that, when goods are bought and sold, then whatever goods are delivered by the seller to the buyer, become the property of the buyer, who cannot reject them and must claim damages if they do not fulfil the contract.
