Contracts
A buyer's offer is contingent on the sale of the buyer's current home. The seller includes a '48-hour kick-out clause.' This means:

BIf the seller receives another acceptable offer, the buyer has 48 hours to remove the home-sale contingency or the seller can accept the new offer✓ Correct
CThe buyer has 48 hours to deposit earnest money
DThe offer automatically expires in 48 hours
Explanation
A kick-out (or release) clause allows the seller to continue marketing the property. If a better offer arrives, the original buyer typically has 48–72 hours to waive the contingency or the seller can accept the new offer.
