• B. There is no intention to enter into legal relations.
• C. The matter is too small and the court will refuse to go into it.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The matter is too small and the court will refuse to go into it.

Option C.

The above mentioned principle states that court should avoid cases of trivial nature. Here, A proposed B for morning walk and B accepted the proposal. As there is no consideration and the contract is of very trivial nature court will refuse this case. There's no harm caused to any of the parties.
