A. If the person making the offer tells the person who receives the offer that the offer will remain open for a certain period of time -- in these circumstances, the offeror cannot revoke acceptance before that period of time expires.

D. All of the above

E. Two of the above are correct.

Explanation / Answer

C. If the offer is one for a unilateral contract, and the offeree has begun substantial performance.

An offeror can revoke his offer if only promise has been made, but once the offer turns into a unilateral contract, and the offeree has begun substantial performance, an offeror can’t revoke his offer.
