Correct option is C
The doctrine referred to in the question is "Feeding the grant by estoppel," where a transferor must hand over any subsequently acquired property to the transferee if they misrepresented their right to transfer the property in the first place, and the transferee acted in good faith based on that representation.
Information Booster: The principle of feeding the grant by estoppel is codified under Section 43 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. It applies when a person, who fraudulently or erroneously represents that they have the authority to transfer property, transfers the property to another. If that person later acquires an interest in the property, they are estopped from denying the transferee's right to the property.

(a) Rule against unjust enrichment: This rule prevents one party from unfairly benefiting at the expense of another, but it is not the doctrine in question.

·
(d) Doctrine of substantial compliance: This doctrine is related to contract law and involves accepting near-complete compliance with a contract's terms, but it is not related to property transfers by estoppel.
