Contracts
A Wyoming seller signs and returns a buyer's offer but changes the closing date. This is legally considered:
AAn acceptance with a minor modification
BA counteroffer that terminates the original offer✓ Correct
CA binding acceptance since the main price was unchanged
DAn illegal modification requiring WREC approval
Explanation
Under the mirror image rule, any change to the terms of an offer constitutes a counteroffer, not an acceptance. The counteroffer terminates the original offer and places the power of acceptance with the original offeror.
