Correct option is B
Under
Section 4 of the
Indian Contract Act, 1872, the communication of an acceptance is complete as follows:
·
Against the proposer: The communication of an acceptance is complete when it is
put in a course of transmission to him, so as to be out of the control of the acceptor.
·
Against the acceptor: The communication is complete
as soon as the acceptance comes to the knowledge of the proposer.
In simpler terms, for the
acceptor, the communication is complete when the acceptance reaches the proposer or is communicated in such a way that the proposer is aware of it.
Other Options:
·
(a) When it comes to the knowledge of the acceptor: This is incorrect because the communication of acceptance is not completed when the acceptor knows it. It is complete only when the proposer becomes aware of it.
·
(c) When it comes to the knowledge of the acceptor and proposer both: This is also incorrect because the communication of acceptance primarily depends on the knowledge of the
proposer only.
·
(d) When it comes to the knowledge of a third party: This is incorrect as the communication of acceptance does not involve any third party.
