Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 100 allows evidence to show which of two sets of facts was meant when the language applies partly to each but wholly to neither. The illustration to section 100 says evidence may be given to show which land A meant to sell, so the answer is "Evidence may be given of facts showing which land he meant to sell". The Act lays down no fixed rule preferring place or occupation.
