Pablo Rhodes · Answer 1

C) there was an offer, acceptance, and consideration

Explanation:

The doctrine of promissory estoppel requires that the following 5 elements must exist:

The parties must anticipate that some type of legal relationship will exist between them. One party must have made a promise to another party. One party must rely on the promise made by the other party. The party that relied on the promise made by the other party must suffer a detriment if the promise is not fulfilled. Unconscionability, in other words, there is nothing that forbids the party from performing the promise.
