ABuys goods for personal use
BHires services for personal use
CBuys goods for resale or commercial purposes
DUses goods with permission of the buyer
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Buys goods for resale or commercial purposes
1. The Act protects end-users; not those buying for re-sale or commercial purpose.
2. Personal-use buyers, service users and permitted users are explicitly included.
3. Buying for commerce takes the person out of the consumer definition.
4. Hence (B) is NOT a consumer.
