Travel Lines stated that acceptance must be in writing by USPS next-day service. Therefore, only option C complies with this requirement and creates a valid contract between the parties. Options A and B are not in writing and Option D is incorrect as it assumes that all means of communication are considered reasonable, which is not the case as specified by Travel Lines.
