BHas no legal effect from the beginning and cannot be ratified✓ Correct
CCan be ratified by the party with the power to void it
DRequires court action to be set aside

A void contract has no legal effect whatsoever — it is as if it never existed. Examples include contracts for an illegal purpose. A voidable contract is valid and enforceable unless the party with the power to void it chooses to do so (e.g., a contract signed by a minor).
