The situation described here is an example of an implied contract, where the agreement between the buyer and the merchant is not expressed in words but is inferred from their actions and conduct. Since the buyer is asking for the article to be delivered to their home, and the merchant is agreeing to do so, there is an implied agreement that the buyer will pay for the article at the market price. This is a valid and enforceable contract. Choices A, B, and D are not correct because they do not accurately describe the type of contract at play here.
