I think option C might be tricky. I remember we talked about how the misrepresentation needs to be made by a party to the contract for certain remedies to apply.

I feel like we had a practice question about damages and misrepresentation, but I can't recall if it was specifically about negligence or something else.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about rescission not being available for innocent misrepresentation. Is that what option B is saying?

I think option D sounds familiar because we discussed how the Misrepresentation Act can provide remedies for fraudulent misrepresentation in class.
