Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The doctrine of privity of contract (Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co. v. Selfridge; Jamna Das v. Ram Autar) is subject to recognised exceptions: beneficiaries under a trust or charge (Khwaja Muhammad Khan v. Husaini Begum), marriage settlements, partition and other family arrangements, covenants running with land (Tulk v. Moxhay), and acknowledgement, estoppel and agency. A minor's status has nothing to do with privity, so the correct set is "A, C, D, E only".
