(a) That's wrong. 

You were asked to select the statement that does not properly describe the seller's obligations when goods are bought by description from a seller who deals in goods of that description.

It is incorrect to say that, if the buyer has told the seller why they want the goods and indicated reliance on the seller to provide suitable goods, the seller must deliver goods suitable for the buyer’s purpose even if the goods in question are sold under a trade name. 

It is correct to say that a seller is responsible for delivering goods suitable for the buyer’s purpose if the buyer has told the seller why they want the goods and indicated that they are relying on the seller to provide suitable goods.

It is correct to say that, when a seller is responsible for delivering goods suitable for the buyer’s purpose and fails to do so, the seller is liable for breach of a condition rather than a breach of warranty.

Give yourself no marks for this answer.
