• C. The person who makes the offer is the offeror. The person to whom the offer is made is the offeree.
• D. The offeror and offeree are the same person.

Answer: (C)

In contract terms, the person who makes the offer is called the offeror, and the person to whom the offer is made is the offeree. This labeling shows who initiates the proposal and who is being asked to consider it. The offeror starts the deal by presenting terms, and the offeree can accept, reject, or propose a counter-offer. A contract comes into existence only when the offeree accepts the terms offered. The statement that identifies these roles exactly is the best fit. The other descriptions mix up who is doing the offering or suggest they’re the same person, which doesn’t align with how negotiations between two parties work.
