Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The agreement is unenforceable because it contains an illusory promise. The store's statement, I will consider making you my sole supplier, does not commit the store to any specific action or obligation, making it a promise that lacks the definiteness and commitment necessary to form a binding contract.
