C seems a bit off to me. I feel like there are time limits for bringing actions in misrepresentation cases, but I can't remember the specifics.

I recall a practice question similar to D, where the focus was on whether the misrepresentation induced the contract. That seems important.

I'm not sure about B; I thought misrepresentation could lead to a contract being voidable, but not necessarily automatically cancelled.

I think option A might be correct because I remember something about silence in negotiations leading to liability if misunderstandings aren't corrected.

I'm a bit confused by the differences between options B, C, and D. I'll need to review my notes on the remedies for misrepresentation to pick the best answer.

Option A sounds right to me - if the seller knows the buyer has a misunderstanding, they have a duty to correct it. I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, the wording of these options is tricky. I'll need to carefully read through each one to determine which statement is correct.
