Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The rules governing the capacity of intoxicated persons are very similar to those applied to the capacity of people who are mentally impaired.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.
