ASimply a bad deal for one party
BSo one-sided or oppressive that enforcing it would be fundamentally unfair✓ Correct

Explanation
A court may refuse to enforce an unconscionable contract or clause that is so unfair and one-sided — often involving unequal bargaining power or hidden terms — that enforcement would be oppressive. Both procedural unconscionability (unfair process) and substantive unconscionability (unfair terms) are relevant.
