D Correct answer
Explanation

Option D represents a mere social invitation without legal consequences. A card party invitation lacks consideration and intention to create legal relations. Options A, B, and C involve elements of contract: A has work and remuneration (consideration), B is a valid marriage contract under special law, and C creates contractual obligations upon taking a seat in public transport.
