Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Privity of contract means that contractual rights and liabilities ordinarily belong to the contracting parties, who may sue or be sued on it. It is distinct from privity of consideration: section 2(d) allows consideration to move from the promisee or any other person. Recognised exceptions, including a beneficiary under a trust or qualifying family arrangement, must be considered where relevant.
