Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Contracts involving minors are generally valid unless they are for items prohibited by law for minors, such as alcohol or tobacco. The willingness of adults to enter into contracts with minors or to ratify such contracts does not affect the legality of the contract. Similarly, the minor's willingness to disaffirm the contract is a right they hold, but it does not determine the types of contracts they can enter into.
