What characterizes an express contract?

  1. It is never written down

  2. It is always a verbal agreement

  3. Parties clearly state and agree to the actions to be taken

  4. It involves implied terms only

The correct answer is: Parties clearly state and agree to the actions to be taken

An express contract is one where the parties explicitly state and agree to the terms and actions required in the contract. This means that the terms of the contract are clearly and directly stated and agreed upon by both parties. The other options are incorrect because an express contract can be either written or verbal, as long as the terms are clearly stated and agreed upon. Additionally, an express contract can also include both direct and implied terms. Therefore, option C is the best answer because it accurately characterizes an express contract.
