Contracts
A NH seller's counteroffer changes the closing date and the price but accepts all other terms of the buyer's offer. Legally, this counteroffer:
APartially accepts the offer while keeping the original offer open
BRejects the original offer and creates a new offer from the seller✓ Correct
CIs binding on the buyer since they made the original offer
DHas no legal significance unless signed by both parties
Explanation
Any change to an offer—even changing just one term—constitutes a rejection of the original offer and creates a new offer (counteroffer) by the seller. The original offer is extinguished; the buyer is free to accept, reject, or counter the seller's counteroffer.
