Serena was selling her house and she entered into a contract with Jatinder under which he would act as her agent. Armin was interested in buying the house which had a vacant lot next door. Jatinder told Armin that the lot was too small to build on. Armin relied on this representation and bought the house for $200 000. Later the owner of the lot did build a house on it.

C) Serena is not responsible for Jatinder's fraud because she knew nothing about it.
