  • A.same time
  • B.same place
  • C.same sense
  • D.none of above

Answer: C

An offer and its acceptance must be in the same sense.

For a contract there must be consensus ad idem, the parties agreeing to the same thing in the same sense. Section 7 of the Indian Contract Act says that acceptance must be absolute and unqualified, and section 13 defines consent as agreeing upon the same thing in the same sense.

The offer and acceptance need not be at the same time, since an offer can be accepted later while it remains open. Nor need they be in the same place, since contracts are made by post or telephone. So only the same sense is a requirement.
