BB. Voidable — the party under duress may choose to enforce or rescind it✓ Correct
CC. Fully enforceable against both parties
DD. Valid only if notarized
Explanation
A contract obtained through duress (threats, coercion, improper pressure) is voidable. The party who was under duress has the right to avoid the contract, while the party exerting duress cannot void it.
