Who said that "An offer need not be made to an ascertained person, but no contract can arise until it has been accepted by an ascertained person"?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The statement is attributed to Anson. It distinguishes an offer addressed generally from the eventual contract with an identifiable person who accepts it. General offers can therefore be made publicly, but acceptance must connect a particular acceptor to the offer. Under section 8 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, performing the conditions of such a proposal is an acceptance of it.
