The infancy doctrine allows minors to disaffirm contracts they enter into with adults. This is because minors are considered to lack the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. However, if the minor has sufficient mental capacity when entering into the contract, they may be bound by its terms. Choice A is incorrect because a minor does not have to honor a contract entered into with an adult if they choose to disaffirm it. Choice C is incorrect because minors can enter into contracts with other minors, however, these contracts may also be disaffirmed. Choice D is incorrect because a minor can elect to enforce a contract they entered into with an adult, but only after reaching the age of majority and affirming the contract.
