Correct answer
Explanation
This is misrepresentation, not fraud. D made a false statement ('blue is black') but believed it to be true - D genuinely thought blue was black. Misrepresentation requires a false statement made innocently without intent to deceive. Fraud requires intent to deceive. D's belief was honest (even if bizarre about colors), so there's no fraudulent intent. M can rescind the contract for misrepresentation but cannot claim damages for fraud.
