Solution

The correct option is A void
Section 21 of Indian Contract Act, 1872 defines ‘Effect of mistake as to law’ as follows

“A contract is not voidable because it was caused by a mistake as to any law in force in India; but a mistake as to a law not in force in India has the same effect as a mistake of fact."
