Answer: D.) Regardless of the quantity.

Explanation: Declaration of bankruptcy is usually triggered by an organization or company in debt, declaring bankruptcy involves a legal process whereby the organization in question is examined and researched by evaluating it's liabilities and assets, so that they can seek relief from their debt. Once the buyer, gourmet declares bankruptcy, the contract between both companies can be terminated in transit regardless of the quantity of goods demanded, this is because gourmet declaring bankruptcy means the company will almost certainly be unable to pay for the demanded goods.
