Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 19 lets a person prove his own admission in certain cases, including where it is relevant otherwise than as an admission. Illustration (d) to section 19 says A may prove his refusal to sell below value, though it is his own admission, because it is "explanatory of conduct influenced by facts in issue". That the conduct followed the offence does not exclude it, and the buyer's evidence is not required.
