Answer :
An implied warranty for all products guarantees that the product will work as described for a reasonable amount of time. This means that when you purchase a product, there is an implicit promise that it will function properly for a typical period based on the nature of the product and its intended use. This warranty assures the consumer that the product will meet basic quality and performance standards.
For example, if you buy a microwave oven, the implied warranty would cover the expectation that it will heat food effectively for a reasonable period without malfunctioning. If the microwave stops working shortly after purchase due to a manufacturing defect, the implied warranty would entitle you to have it repaired or replaced by the manufacturer.
In contrast, the other options listed do not align with what is guaranteed by an implied warranty for all products:
A. Companies are not obligated to replace a product with a newer version within a specific timeframe unless explicitly stated in a warranty or purchase agreement.
B. Matching prices of competitors is a marketing strategy and not a part of the implied warranty for a product.
D. Maintenance requirements for a product are not typically covered by an implied warranty. Manufacturers may recommend maintenance to ensure product longevity, but it is not a guaranteed aspect of the implied warranty.
