B) Yes, because the primary purpose of this contract is the sale of goods.

Explanation:

Article 2 of the UCC only covers the sale of goods, it doesn't cover services. In this case, the service provided by the employee is associated with the sale of the goods. The relevant transaction here is that Madison purchased several bags of mulch and any service offered with the sale is included under article 2, e. g. when you buy a TV and request that it is sent home, article covers everything from the purchase of the TV until the TV is delivered to your house. Article 2 also covers the product warranty because it is associated with the sale of the TV.
