Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An implied contract is created based on the conduct of the parties, indicating they intended an agreement even if there is no written agreement. Therefore, choice B is the best answer. Promissory estoppel refers to a legal doctrine that prevents a person from going back on a promise, as long as another party has relied on the promise to their detriment. The term "executory" refers to a contract that has not yet been fully performed. "Executed" refers to a contract that has been fully performed. However, the executory or executed status of a contract is not relevant to the formation of an implied contract.
