Final Answer : B, Explanation :  In contract law, an offer can be terminated for various reasons, including the insanity or death of the offeror, a counter-offer from the offeree, or the expiration of the offer's time limit. However, if the offeror sells the property to another party before the offer's expiration and before hearing from the offeree, it does not automatically terminate the original offer unless the offeree is notified of this action. The original offer remains valid until its specified expiration time unless the offeree is otherwise informed of its revocation.
