Answer:

D, Mutual mistake

Step-by-step explanation:

AJ's and Harry's expectations of the truck to pull a trailer is a mistake on both the paths of the buyer and seller as they assumed rather than confirmed the strength of the truck. For this reason, the contract can be rescinded on the grounds of mutual mistake by both parties involved.

Cheers.
