For a contract to be considered unconscionable, it must be so one-sided and oppressive that it would be manifestly unfair to enforce it. This means that Pete would have to show that not only is the contract unfairly beneficial to Ripe Produce, but also that enforcing it would be oppressive or unfair to him. The other options, such as economically meaningless or legally worthless, do not necessarily relate to the concept of unconscionability.
