According to Article 14 of the CISG, a proposal for concluding a contract will be considered an offer if it is sufficiently definite to indicate the intention of the offeror to be bound in case the proposal is accepted by the offeree. Therefore, an offer must be sufficiently definite and indicate an intention to be bound. Option A is incorrect because an advertisement is not necessarily an offer. Option B is incorrect because leaving quantity or price terms open does not necessarily mean that the proposal is an offer. Option D may be misleading because it suggests that leaving quantity or price terms open and being sufficiently definite are both required for a communication to be considered an offer under the CISG, which is not the case.
