D Correct answer
Explanation

Contracts to do impossible acts are void not because they violate public policy but because they are incapable of performance. The doctrine of public policy specifically covers agreements that harm public interest like trading with enemies, trafficking in public offices (selling/government positions), and marriage brokerage (pimping). These are void as against public policy.
