Answer 1

D. Email contracts are unenforceable unless accompanied by a​ traditional, written contract.

Step-by-step explanation:

A contract is simply an agreement between two mutually consenting parties. With the advent of technology, electronic mail contracts, shortened as Email contracts are recognized by law so long as they have the attributes of contracts. So when there is an agreement between two parties, using the email platform, the law recognizes such.

Signatures do not have to be appended to validate these types of contracts, rather, a statement specifying that an agreement is a valid contract, and endorsed by the two parties, can be substituted for a signature. So far as all the elements of contracts such as an agreement, consideration, capacity and lawful object are adhered to, an email contract is as good as a written contract.
