D Correct answer
Explanation

An offer must be distinguished from preliminary communications that don't show willingness to be bound. An invitation to treat (like display of goods) is an invitation for others to make offers. Mere information sharing during negotiations lacks intent to contract. Statements of intention (like 'I plan to sell my car next month') indicate future intent but not present willingness to be bound. All three are legally distinct from a valid offer.
