Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Contracts entered into by minors are generally voidable at the minor's discretion. However, once a minor reaches the age of majority, they can choose to ratify (formally approve) the contract, but it must be done as a whole, not in parts. Ratification can only occur after reaching the age of majority.
