Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

A wife cohabiting with her husband in their own domestic establishment is presumed to have implied authority to pledge his credit for articles of household necessity, so the authority exists "if the wife is living with her husband in a domestic establishment of their own"; the presumption does not arise where she lives separately or is given an adequate allowance.
