D Correct answer
Explanation

An acceptance cannot be presumed from the silence of the offeree. Silence does not constitute acceptance unless there is a prior course of dealing or explicit agreement that silence will mean acceptance. Acceptance must be communicated, be absolute/unconditional, and come from an authorized person. The statement about silence is the false one.
