Answer: Option C — unenforceable contract
Detailed Solution
A person who contracts in another's name without authority cannot bind that other person; the contract cannot be enforced against him unless he ratifies it.
Such contracts are classed as unenforceable contracts: they exist but cannot be enforced in court as they stand.
They are not void from the start (ratification can cure them) and not voidable (no free-consent defect is involved).
