Respuesta :

Answer:A. unenforceable due to the preexisting duty rule.

Explanation: Preexisting rule is a common rule in law that is concerned with contractual agreement or obligations.

The pre-existing rule tends to state that when two parties in a contract have already agreed to the contract terms and conditions through signatures etc, any other request by any party to the modification of the contract can not be binding on either of the parties involved in the contract.
