Option A is an example of a unilateral contract because C is performing an act (returning a lost dog) in exchange for a promised reward ($50). The offeror (the person who lost the dog) has made a promise to give a reward to anyone who returns it, and C is accepting that offer by performing the requested act. Options B through E do not involve a promise in exchange for an act, and therefore are not examples of unilateral contracts.
