Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A legal detriment is an act or promise to act that involves giving up a legal right or refraining from an action. This is an essential element of a valid contract, as both parties must provide legal consideration for the agreement to be enforceable. Choice B) is incorrect because an illegal detriment would not be enforceable in a court of law. Choices C) and D) do not relate to the concept of contractual consideration. Choice E) refers to the benefits provided by a contract, not the consideration given in exchange.
