Answer:

B. a promise to make a gift is unenforceable

Step-by-step explanation:

Such a promise to get him the car can be seen as an unenforceable Contract. Such a contract can be valid but cannot be enforced in the court of law. This contract is not void. An oral contract to get him the car gift on his birthday can not be enforced because it is not a written agreement.
