Answer:

The correct answer is because it determines which contracts could be voidable

Step-by-step explanation:

A unilateral mistake is when just one party to a contract is mistaken as to the terms contained in a contract.

Commonly, the unilateral mistake does not make a contract void; The mutual mistake makes it.
