Choice "C" is correct. In a shipment contract, risk of loss and title pass to the buyer when the goods are placed in the hands of the carrier. Choice "d" is incorrect. At identification, the buyer gains some rights in the goods (e.g., an insurable interest), but title and risk of loss do not pass at that time.Choices "b" and "a" are incorrect. Risk of loss and title pass to the buyer when the goods reach their destination and are tendered only in a destination contract. The question here asks about a shipment contract, which is governed by a different rule.
