In an ordinary retail showroom, how is a display of goods bearing price labels generally classified for contract formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

A normal price-marked retail display invites the customer to make an offer. The seller can then accept or reject the customer's offer.

Option A

An offer would convey readiness to be bound on acceptance. A normal price display does not by itself do that.

Option B

A counter-offer requires an existing offer to which the seller responds on different terms.

Option C

The display is an invitation to offer, also called an invitation to treat.

Option D

The legal significance of the ordinary display is that it solicits a purchase offer.
