Solution

The correct option is A an unconditional order
According to section 5 of the Negotiable Instrument Act 1881, a bill of exchange is an unconditional order in writing directing a certain person to pay certain person or the bearer a sum of money. As you can see in the proforma of a bill of exchange given above there is no promise of any kind, instead the drawer has just written that the drawee has to pay him an amount of RS.800 after two months.
