C Correct answer
Explanation

Under the postal rule (mailbox rule), acceptance is complete when posted, not when received. However, it can be revoked if it never reaches the proposer. Once acceptance is in the post, it cannot normally be revoked, but if the letter is lost and never arrives, the acceptance fails. Option C captures this nuance correctly.
