Which of the following is correct about implied and express contracts?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Express contract: Terms are explicitly stated in words, either orally or in writing (e.g., a signed listing agreement).

Implied contract: Formed through the conduct or actions of the parties (e.g., ordering food at a restaurant implies a promise to pay).

Both types can be legally binding. The key difference is how the agreement is established.

I feel like I might have mixed up the definitions; I know express contracts are written or spoken, but I can't recall how implied contracts are formed exactly.

I'm a bit confused because I thought both types of contracts could be legally binding, but maybe I misremembered.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think option C sounds right since it matches what we learned about how implied contracts work.

I think express contracts definitely state the terms clearly, but I'm not sure about the details of implied contracts.
