Answer:

A) a binding contract in favor of a contestant who complies by the rules.

Explanation:

In Fehr v. Algard, a contestant (Edward Fehr) cheated on a fishing contest by trying to include bad fish (or day old fish caught elsewhere) in the final weigh-in of the contest. He was disqualified by the judges and then he sued because the tournament's rule didn't expressly forbid cheating.

The Supreme Court of New Jersey ruled against the plaintiff and established that the good faith of the contestants was implied in the tournament's rules.
