Answer:

C) there was an​ offer, acceptance, and consideration

Explanation:

The doctrine of promissory estoppel requires that the following 5 elements must exist:

1. The parties must anticipate that some type of legal relationship will exist between them.
2. One party must have made a promise to another party.
3. One party must rely on the promise made by the other party.  
4. The party that relied on the promise made by the other party must suffer a detriment if the promise is not fulfilled.
5. Unconscionability , in other words, there is nothing that forbids the party from performing the promise.
