Question: Kellys elderly father, who has dementia, is physically disabled, and can no longer engage in meaningful conversation, comes to live with Kelly in her home.

Kellys elderly father, who has dementia, is physically disabled, and can no longer engage in meaningful conversation, comes to live with Kelly in her home. She obtains a guardianship over her fathers person and finances. One day, while Kelly ran to the grocery store and left her father at home, a salesman comes to Kellys house and convinces her father that the house needs new windows. Kellys father only sort of nods his head when the salesman asks if he owns the house, but he says nothing in response to the question. Kellys father signs a written contract for the purchase and installation of the windows. When Kelly finds out, she tries to get the contract deemed invalid. If Kelly files suit against the salesman, what would be the Courts most likely finding and explain your answer?

Group of answer choices

A. Find that the contract is invalid because Kelly owns the home - not her father - and he could not contract for replacement windows on Kellys house.

B. Find that the contract is valid because it was in writing and signed by Kellys father.

C. Find that the contract may be invalidated if Kelly can prove that her father was incapacitated and unable to understand what he was signing

D. Find that the contract is valid because Kellys father is an adult and able to make his own decisions.

Explain your answer for the previous question below, and why you answered as you did regarding the contract that Kelly's father entered into with the salesman.
