Consideration based on natural love or affection, or on moral duty, that is not sufficient to support a contract is called?

• A. Acceptance
• B. Good Consideration
• C. Forbearance
• D. Counteroffer

Answer: (B)

Consideration is something of value given in exchange for a promise; it must be provided in return for the promise and move from the promisee. When the consideration arises from natural love or affection or from a moral duty, the law sometimes treats that as a valid form of consideration, particularly in close relationships, and this is described as good consideration. In other words, even non-monetary sentiments like love or obligation can count as consideration if they function as the bargained-for exchange that makes a promise enforceable. The other options don’t capture this idea: acceptance is merely agreeing to an offer, forbearance can be consideration in some contexts but isn’t the term used for affection-based exchange, and a counteroffer is a rejection with different terms.
