The doctrine that allows a party to rescind a contract because of the use of force or threats by the other party is known as duress. Duress occurs when one party threatens or uses force to force another party to enter into a contract against their will. The threatened party must not have had any other reasonable choice but to enter into the contract, and they must not have willingly participated in the transaction. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
