Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 17 defines fraud to include the suggestion, as a fact, of that which is not true by one who does not believe it to be true, the active concealment of a fact by one having knowledge or belief of it, and a promise made without any intention of performing it. "The suggestion, as a fact, of that which is true, by one who does believe it to be true" is the reverse of the first limb and is not fraud.
