Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The basic right to disaffirm contracts made during incapacity,the duties upon disaffirmance,and the possibility of ratification upon regaining capacity are the same for an intoxicated person as for a person under a mental impairment.A person formerly incapacitated by intoxication can ratify a contract if he/she regains his capacity.Thus,if he/she regains capacity,he/she must disaffirm the contract unequivocally within a reasonable time,or he/she will be deemed to have ratified it.
