Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unconscionability is a defense that can be used to argue that enforcement of the contract would be manifestly unfair or oppressive. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choice A and D are not relevant to the defense of unconscionability. Choice B, legally worthless, is not a relevant defense in this fact pattern.
