Answer:

d) there is no contract.

Explanation:

Both Helen and Garth made a mutual mistake.

In contract law, a mutual mistake occurs when all the parties involved (Helen and Garth) are mistaken about important material facts that affect the contract (which ATV is being sold). The parties intend to perform but what they consider being part of the contract is not what the other party considers part of the contract. When both parties make a mutual mistake, the contract is cancelled.

Mutual mistakes are not on purpose, they are mistakes committed in good faith.
