Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Under the common law of contracts,an improperly dispatched acceptance or one that was sent by some means of communication that was nonauthorized would be effective when received,assuming that the offer was still open at that time.This placed on the offeree the risk of the offer being revoked or the acceptance being lost.
