Which term describes a formal, legally binding agreement?

• A. Conciliation
• B. Caveat emptor
• C. Contract
• D. Entrepreneur

Answer: (C)

A contract is a formal, legally binding agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable obligations. In business, it can be written or spoken, but it’s binding once there’s an offer, acceptance, and consideration (something of value exchanged), plus an intention to create legal relations, and the parties have the capacity and lawful purpose to form the agreement. When obligations aren’t met, the law provides remedies such as damages or specific performance. The other terms don’t fit because conciliation is a dispute‑resolution process, caveat emptor means “let the buyer beware,” and an entrepreneur is a person who starts and runs a business.
