Correct option is D
An agreement to do an act impossible in itself is void under Section 56 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. If the performance of an act is impossible from the outset, the agreement is void because it lacks the necessary element of feasibility to be enforceable.
Information Booster:
This principle is rooted in the maxim "lex non cogit ad impossibilia," meaning the law does not compel the performance of impossible acts. If the parties agree to do something that cannot possibly be done, the agreement is void ab initio.
Additional Knowledge:
· Unenforceable: A contract that cannot be enforced by law due to some technical issue or lack of formalities.
· Voidable: A contract that is valid until one party chooses to void it due to factors like coercion or undue influence.
· Wrongful: Refers to actions or contracts that are unlawful or immoral, not necessarily impossible.
