B Correct answer
Explanation

Under the doctrine of necessaries, a minor is liable for essential goods and services supplied to them, but only to the extent of the minor's property. This liability does not wait until majority, does not require a promise, and does arise because the law must ensure minors receive essentials. The supplier can recover from the minor's property, not the minor personally.
