b. within the same financial year of the purchase.

Answer 1

A. within a reasonable time after detecting the defect.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a buyer accepts defective goods and wants to hold the seller liable, the buyer must give the seller notice of the defect within a reasonable time after detecting the defect.

If the buyer takes a longer time to notify the seller, the buyer may be held responsible for damaging the goods and deprived of any refund or compensation attached to defective goods.
