All of the above statements are true about quasi-contracts. The plaintiff must have given some benefit to the defendant, the plaintiff must have reasonably expected to be paid for the benefit, and the defendant would be unjustly enriched if they did not pay for the benefit received. Quasi-contracts are not actual contracts but are imposed by courts to prevent an unjust enrichment of one party at the expense of the other.
