The mailbox rule, also known as the postal rule, applies to acceptances made by regular mail. This rule states that an acceptance is effective when dispatched, as long as the communication is correctly addressed and the means of communication is expressly or impliedly authorized by the offeror. In this scenario, regular mail is a traditional and impliedly acceptable method for such transactions, making choice C correct. Choices A (e-mail) and B (phone) do not apply to the mailbox rule as it specifically pertains to the use of postal services for acceptance.
