Answer:

D) allow the parties to rescind the contract

Step-by-step explanation:

If Oceanic Transport can prove that is made an unintentional mistake while preparing the budget, they can try to get Nora to accept a new price or rescind the contract.

The relevant issue is how Oceanic can prove that the mistake was caused by a miscalculation and that the price offered was below the fair market value.
