Answer: b. There is no contract; a reasonable person wouldn’t believe the landlord intended to pay

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, there is no contract because a reasonablee person wouldn’t believe the landlord intended to pay.

It should be noted that the landlord won't pay $10,000 just for someone to bring a cockroach to him. Will presenting the cockroach and then suing him is really absurd because he should not be expecting a $10000 from the landlord and moreover there wasn't any form of written contract which was duly signed to even attest to that.
