Answer 1

C) Marty has ratified the contract and is now bound by its terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratified Contract : This refers to a contract in which the terms have been agreed upon by all parties involved but has not yet been fully executed, signed, and delivered. The typical steps in the contract process include the offer, acceptance, consideration, and ratification. So, in the case of Marty, the contract has been ratified and she is bound by it terms.
