Undue influence is defined as the use of one's power or authority to force another person to enter into an agreement against their will.

• A. True
• B. The use of one's power to coerce agreement
• C. It is a form of misrepresentation
• D. It relates to disclosures

Answer: (B)

Undue influence happens when someone in a position of power or trust uses that relationship to push another person into an agreement, undermining the other person’s ability to decide freely. The strongest way to express this idea is the option that describes the use of power to coerce agreement. It captures the essential mechanism: improper pressure from someone who holds authority or influence over the other person, leading to a contract that may not reflect voluntary consent. The phrase in the prompt about forcing the other person against their will is similar, but the best choice zeroes in on the coercive dynamic caused by an imbalance of power. Misrepresentation concerns false statements, and disclosures concern what information is shared, neither of which centers on the power-based pressure that defines undue influence.
