The statute of frauds requires certain types of contracts to be in writing to be enforceable. These typically include contracts for the sale of land (A), contracts that cannot be performed within one year, contracts to pay someone else's debts (B), and contracts for the sale of goods over a certain value (often $500 or more, which would include D).
