(d) That's right. 

You were asked to select the correct statement.

It is correct to say that, in the circumstances,  X breaches the provisions of the act when he sells champagne to Peter but not when he sells it to Briony.  This is because Peter is below the prescribed age, regardless of whether or not he looks older, whereas Briony has reached her 16^th birthday and so is not ‘below’ the prescribed age.

It is incorrect to say that, in the circumstances, X has not breached the provisions of the Act in either case.

Nor is it correct to say that, in the circumstances, X breaches the provisions of the Act twice, when he sells the champagne to Briony and to Peter.

It is wrong to say that, in the circumstances, X breaches the provisions of the act when he sells champagne to Briony but not when he sells it to Peter.
