D Correct answer
Explanation

Under Section 7 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, acceptance must be absolute and unqualified to convert a proposal into a promise. Any modification or variation to the terms of the proposal constitutes a counter-offer, not acceptance. Qualified acceptance destroys the original proposal and creates a new offer.
