Which term describes the situation in which the offeror specifies the means by which acceptance should be communicated?

• A. Actual communication
• B. Offer & Acceptance
• C. Constructive communication
• D. Disclosure

Answer: (C)

When the offeror sets a specific way for acceptance to be communicated, the acceptance is effective only if that method is used. This idea is described as constructive communication: the law treats the acceptance as communicated when it is conveyed through the prescribed means, so using that exact method binds the deal. If the offeree uses a different method, there’s no binding contract unless the offeror agrees to that alternative or the offer allows other modes.

The other options don’t fit as well. Actual communication is a broader notion of sending a message without tying it to the offeror’s specified channel. The term Offer & Acceptance is just a general pairing, not a specific concept about how acceptance must be communicated. Disclosure is about revealing information, not the process of conveying acceptance.
