Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Hye is correct because her agreement with Dante was not in a writing containing words of negotiability. A negotiable instrument must be in writing and contain an unconditional promise or order to pay a fixed amount of money. Since the agreement with Dante was oral and did not contain such a promise in a written form with words of negotiability, it cannot be considered a negotiable instrument.
