    A) Mike can disaffirm.

    Explanation:

    Since Mike was a minor when he signed the contract, that means that the contract is voidable.

    A voidable contract can be invalidated if one party decides to void it. Voidable contracts are legal unless they are voided.

    In this case, Mike can decide to void this contract since he was a minor and it is illegal for a minor to engage legal contracts.
