BA mistake that generally does not provide grounds for rescission unless the other party knew of the mistake
CA mistake made by the broker on behalf of a client
DBoth A and BCorrect

Why Both A and B Is Correct

Answer D: Both A and B

A unilateral mistake is made by only one party and generally is not grounds for rescission, since it would be unfair to allow one party to avoid a contract merely because of their own error. Exception: if the other party knew of the mistake, rescission may be available.

Exam Tip: Contracts

Contract questions frequently test the essential elements required for a valid contract. Remember: competent parties, mutual consent, lawful object, and sufficient consideration. Watch for void vs. voidable distinctions.
