a buyer in the ordinary course of business              

Explanation:

The answer is --

a buyer in the ordinary course of business

Since Dan was unaware of the necklace and he buys the necklace from the Necklace Nook to gift it to Megan, his wife, thus Dan becomes a normal buyer in the ordinary course of business who purchases the item from a shop.

Krista can sue Necklace Nook for the fraud but can not file any charges against Dan because he is an innocent buyer of the item. He is not guilty but a normal buyer in the business.

Thus the answer is --

a buyer in the ordinary course of business
