Final Answer : A, Explanation :  When a debtor offers to pay a different type of payment (e.g., goods instead of money) on a debt that is not disputed, and the creditor agrees, it involves a liquidated debt. The agreement to accept a different form of payment constitutes an accord, and the actual acceptance of this different payment fulfills the satisfaction part, thus resolving the debt.
