Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The word “person” in section 2(c) is not confined to a natural human being. Governments can enter contracts, subject to the constitutional requirements for government contracts, and legal persons may also be promisors or promisees. The claim that it means just a human being is therefore too narrow.
