The correct option is C The court cannot entertain such suits as the act promised under the agreement is impossible in itself
The principle given in this cause is same as section 56 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, which states that agreement to do impossible act is void. In this case Ramesh promised to shilpa that he will pluck stars form the sky and bring them down on Earth for her within a week, so it is an act which is impossible, so the contract is void.
