Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
E-Sign broadly interprets the concept of electronic signature-using,in fact,the same statutory definition of electronic signature as that which is used in UETA (Uniform Electronic Transactions Act).E-Sign overrides any state law that is inconsistent with UETA,thus helping to harmonize U.S.law about the interaction of formal requirements such as the statute of frauds and electronic contracts.
