Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Promises under seal were once considered legally binding in all states, but now only a few states still recognize them. In those states, they may still be enforceable for contracts not involving goods. However, under the UCC, seals have no legal significance and promises under seal are not enforceable for contracts involving goods. Additionally, promises under seal cannot serve as consideration in a new contract.
