Answer:

C). Can enforce James's pledge on the grounds of promissory estoppel based on a charitable subscription.

Explanation:

A charitable subscription is demonstrated as a promise in which a party promises to make a donation to an educational, charitable, or religious institution.

As per the question, Helping Hands Inc. possesses the ability to 'enforce James's pledge on the grounds of promissory estoppel based on a charitable description'. Conventionally, such promises were not enforceable as they are not backed by appropriate legal consideration. But, the modern view allows adding exceptions in the general rule through application of the doctrine of promissory estoppel. Thus, Helping Hands is now allowed to enforce its promise on the basis of promissory estoppel. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

The correct answer is letter C

Charitable Subscription is when a person writes or promises orally that there will be a charity, such as a sum of money or one that will be donated. In general, this is an agreement that has to be kept, especially if it was a written promise, as it is a document and a promise to be fulfilled for charity.
