A) fraudulent misrepresentation.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that Deb can rescind the contract on the ground of fraudulent misrepresentation. This term refers to when a person makes a false statement in order to get someone to enter into a contract. This is what happened in this situation since the salesperson promised a "smooth ride" which turned out to not be the case. Fraudulent Misrepresentation does not make the contract void but may make it voidable if taken to court and approved by a judge.
