Judith George makes an offer to sell a plot of land using a normal letter and states no authorized means by which the offeree, Helga Holmes must respond if she accepts. If Helga accepts the offer using a normal letter, which of the following is true? A) The acceptance is effective upon dispatch.
B) The acceptance is effective when it is received.
C) The offer is invalid because it fails to stipulate the means of acceptance.
D) The acceptance would be effective upon dispatch even if the means of acceptance is unreasonable.

A) The acceptance is effective upon dispatch

Explanation:

In the given scenario an offer was made by Judith using normal letter, she did not state the authorised means by which the acceptance should be made.

If Helga accepts the offer and chooses and means to convey the acceptance, it will be acceptable as there is no specific way stated by Judith.

So when Helga responds by using a normal letter, the acceptance is effective when she dispatches the letter.

If however Judith stated an authorised means of acceptance, Helga would have to comply to make sure her acceptance is valid
