Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
An oral auction is conducted with bidders bidding out loud, and the highest bidder wins and pays their winning bid. It is not referred to as a Vickrey auction, which is a type of sealed-bid auction, and it is not conducted with sealed bids as in option B. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
