Communication of acceptance is complete as against the proposer:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 4 makes acceptance complete against the proposer when it enters transmission to the proposer beyond the acceptor’s power. Against the acceptor, completion occurs when it reaches the proposer’s knowledge. The choices about receipt confuse these two statutory viewpoints. This is the statutory dispatch formulation, commonly applied to postal acceptance. Instantaneous telephone acceptance is governed by receipt, as explained by the majority in Bhagwandas Goverdhandas Kedia.
