The correct answer is A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Federal Trade Commission, which is an agency that protects consumers, unordered merchandise should be treated as a gift. This implies if you receive some product you have not ordered in the mail you can decide to keep it or not and the company that sent it cannot force you to pay for it because you have not previously agreed or accepted this. Although it was a mistake you can contact the company and return it if the company pays for the shipment, but this is not an obligation. Thus, it is true consumers may keep as a gift any unordered merchandise that they receive in the mail.
