Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Consideration is defined as something of value that is given by both parties to a contract that induces them to enter into the agreement to exchange mutual performances. It is essentially the price for which the promise of the other is bought, meaning each party must provide something of value (consideration) for the contract to be valid.
