Contracts
A Pennsylvania buyer's offer is 'irrevocable' for 48 hours under the contract terms. During those 48 hours, the seller receives a higher offer. The seller may:
AAccept the higher offer and disregard the first buyer's irrevocability
BCounter-offer the first buyer — a counter-offer terminates the irrevocability
CNot accept any other offer during the 48-hour irrevocability period✓ Correct
DNotify PREC to terminate the first buyer's offer
Explanation
During an irrevocability period, the seller cannot accept other offers without breaching the terms of the irrevocability. The seller may counter-offer (which terminates the irrevocability by rejecting the original offer) but cannot simply accept another offer.
