d. there is no way for the parties to communicate with one another.

Explanation:

Marketing is the process by which relationships are created and managed on order to satisfy customers.

The business student has heard of the tutor but does not know who he is. Although he is willing to pay for lessons he has not opened any lines of communication with the tutor so marketing cannot occur.

Communication has to be established before a relationship is built (marketing).
