B Correct answer
Explanation

A general offer made to the world at large (like Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co.) can be accepted not by sending a communication of acceptance, but by actually performing the conditions specified in the offer. The offeror dispenses with the need for communication of acceptance, and performance of the act constitutes acceptance. Mere intention to comply (tendering oneself) is insufficient - actual compliance is required.
