B Correct answer
Explanation

When consent is vitiated by coercion, undue influence, fraud, or misrepresentation, the contract is voidable - not void. The aggrieved party has the option to either affirm or rescind the contract. A void contract has no legal effect from the beginning, while a voidable contract remains valid until the aggrieved party chooses to avoid it.
