    Correct option is (B)

    Explanation:

    As per Statute of law, for some promises to be enforceable by law, it should be in writing. One of the contracts that require a valuable consideration to be in writing is contract of marriage. In case a party promises to give something of value after marriage, it should be in writing.

    Here, Christine will lose the suit as promise made by Barry to buy her a new car after marriage is not in writing. So, promise is not enforceable.
