D Correct answer
Explanation

The Indian Contract Act places restrictions on certain parties' capacity to contract. Alien enemies (during war), foreign sovereigns/representatives (may have diplomatic immunity), and insolvents/convicts (legal disabilities) all face limitations on their contractual capacity. Therefore, none of these groups has unfettered contractual rights.
