c. This car has the fastest zero to 60 acceleration on the planet.

Explanation:

A misrepresentation is an untrue or misleading statement of fact that is made from one party to another one, leading the other party to enter into a contract. In common law jurisdictions, misrepresentation can lead the misled party to rescind the contract, and sometimes, be awarded damages. In this example, whether the car has the fastest zero to 60 acceleration on the planet or not is a statement of fact, as it can easily be proven right or wrong. If this is untrue, this could be a basis for misrepresentation.
