Hey there!

If I'm remembering correctly, the correct answer is C, because an illegal consideration promise is to refrain something from doing an unlawful act and, therefore, is a promise that will not support a contract.
Illegal- unlawful

I'm a little confused on this question however, I'm 99% sure the answer is illusory promise because an illusory promise is one that does not hold any legal weight due to it possibility being a biased and non mutual agreement and it's just a verbal contract in the place of a paper contract.
