Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 95 bars only oral evidence varying the terms of contracts, grants or dispositions of property, and a receipt records a fact rather than such terms. Illustration (i) to section 95 says A may prove that B kept the receipt without sending the money, so the answer is "Yes, A may prove it". A receipt is not conclusive of payment.
