c) Counteroffer

Explanation:

A counteroffer determines this when an offer is being created for the purpose of the earlier offer by another person during the negotiation for creating the ending contract. To make the counteroffer is to reject the previous offer and is created under the terms of the counteroffer or there will be no contract.

Here according to the given scenario, Jack makes the offer in the condition that he needs only microwave, refrigerator, and window treatment and this will be a sale part. Now, Padilla who is selling the home is accepting the terms of Jack with the condition that the refrigerator will remain in the home. So, this case is called the counter offer.
