D Correct answer
Explanation

A valid contract requires multiple elements to coexist: offer and acceptance (mutual assent), intention to create legal relations, capacity of parties (competency), lawful consideration, lawful object, free consent, and sometimes writing/witnesses. Since option A covers offer/acceptance, B covers intention (though oddly phrased), and C covers capacity - and all are essential - D is correct as ALL these elements must exist together for a valid contract.
