The correct answer to the following question will be "Option A".

Explanation:

It is indeed a legally enforceable arrangement among two or even more, individuals, where it would be usually made up through one party, can make a bid, as well as the other party signaling approval. The parties 'agreements describe there rights & obligations. The parties have agreed to amend the deal to make the seller charge a larger amount. The move is enforceable however soon as when the parties willingly consent to either the amendment.

The other solutions have no relation with the specified scenario. So choice A is the right solution to that.
