Solution

The correct option is B is void being impossible to do
For an agreement to be valid, it must contain a lawful or possible consideration. In the present case, the subject matter of the agreement i.e. two straight lines enclose a space is impossible as two straight lines cannot enclose a space. Therefore, the agreement pertaining to this is void due to impossibility of the act.
