[Missed Payments] Blake,who loved water sports and relaxing in hot tubs,purchased a hot tub on an installment plan and was to pay the seller monthly.Her last payment was made on January 2,2011.After several failed attempts at collection,the seller brought a lawsuit against Blake for sums remaining on the account on January 3,2016.Blake defended on the basis that the statute of limitations had expired on the claim.The seller argued,however,that adequate time remained because the UCC applies a flexible statute of limitations;and,at any rate,sellers have at least five years in which to sue.Blake also arranged to purchase a personal watercraft.According to the terms of his contract with the seller,Blake was to pay an initial deposit within 10 days of the sale,at which point she could take possession of the watercraft and make monthly payments thereafter.A couple of days after purchasing the personal watercraft,Blake realized that a personal watercraft would not allow her to invite all her friends on lake trips and purchased a pontoon boat instead.Because the seller of the pontoon boat demanded cash,Blake paid the total sales price prior to delivery.Unfortunately,when the pontoon boat was delivered,Blake found that it had a less powerful motor than the seller represented.Blake notified the seller of the problem,but the seller claimed to have no obligation to remedy the problem.Although she knew that she paid too much for it,Blake decided that since lake season was underway,she would keep the pontoon boat.Because Blake paid full price for the pontoon boat,she was unable to pay within 10 days the deposit on the personal watercraft.The seller refused to deliver the watercraft,and sold it to another customer.Blake informed the seller that the refusal to deliver the watercraft was wrongful and that she was going to exercise her right to cover. -Which of the following is true regarding the hot tub seller's right to recover funds from Blake?


A) The seller will not be able to proceed because the UCC statute of limitations in this case expired three years after the cause of action accrued.
B) The seller will not be able to proceed because the UCC statute of limitations in this case expired two years after the cause of action accrued.
C) The seller will be able to proceed because the UCC statute of limitations in this case would not expire for five years once a cause of action accrued.
D) The seller will likely be able to proceed because the UCC has a flexible statute of limitations that takes into account whether the seller attempted to collect or lulled the plaintiff into believing collection efforts would not be made.
E) The seller will not be able to proceed because the UCC statute of limitations in this case expired four years after the cause of action accrued.
