Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is promissory estoppel. According to this doctrine, if one party makes a promise to another and the other party relies on that promise to their detriment, the promisor may be estopped from denying the promise. In this case, DR&R relied on Claudia's pledge to order additional supplies, and if she does not fulfill the pledge, they may suffer a financial loss. Therefore, they can use promissory estoppel to enforce the pledge. The other options are not applicable in this scenario.
