The correct answer is D. Fraudulent misrepresentation

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraudulent misrepresentation is a type of tort in which an individual, group or organization provides false or misleading information to make another individual, group or company accept a contract. This often implies one of the parties in the contract lie, act maliciously or omit key information which can cause damages to the person or entity signing the contract. This occurs in the case presented as Brady omitted information or lied about the real conditions of the car, which made Calliope accept a contract without knowing the reality, also Brady actions harmed Calliope.
