A.

Meeting of minds of the parties

B.

Meeting of the parties for searching legality of rights

C.

A valid contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, requires a meeting of minds (consensus ad idem), meaning both parties must agree on the same terms at the same time.
Information Booster:
The phrase meeting of minds refers to mutual understanding and agreement on the contract terms, which is fundamental for contract formation.
Additional Information:
· Options (b), (c), and (d): These are aspects of contract discussion but do not constitute the essential requirement of a valid contract like the meeting of minds does.
