    B Husband and Wife Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Solicitor and Client Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 16 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, defines undue influence as a situation where the relationship between parties is such that one is in a position to dominate the will of the other and uses that position to obtain an unfair advantage. The law specifically identifies certain relationships as inherently imbalanced, creating a legal presumption of undue influence if an agreement appears unconscionable.
