An automobile retailer had an adult daughter who needed a car in her employment but had only $3,000 with which to buy one. The retailer wrote to her, "Give me your $3,000 and I'll give you the car on our lot that we have been using as a demonstrator." The daughter thanked her father and paid him the $3,000. As both the retailer and the daughter knew, the demonstrator was reasonably worth $10,000. After the daughter paid the $3,000, but before the car was delivered to her, one of the retailer's sales staff sold and delivered the same car to a customer for $10,000. Neither the salesperson nor the customer was aware of the transaction between the retailer and the daughter. <p>Does the daughter, after rejecting a tendered return of the $3,000 by the retailer, have an action against him for breach of contract?</p>
A、
No, because the payment of $3,000 was inadequate consideration to support the retailer's promise.
B、
No, because the salesperson's delivery of the car to the customer made it impossible for the retailer to perform.
C、
Yes, because the retailer's promise was supported by bargained-for consideration.
D、
Yes, because the retailer's promise was supported by the moral obligation a father owes his child as to the necessities of modern life.
