C Correct answer
Explanation

A general offer is made to the public at large, such as an advertisement offering a reward for a lost item. Anyone who performs the conditions of the offer is deemed to have accepted it, creating a binding contract. In contrast, invitations to offer or declarations of intent do not constitute a firm proposal that can be accepted.
