Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Ezra had the right to sell the items to Diego because there were no valid, enforceable contracts with Mia, Irina, or Tam that required him to hold or reserve the items for them. Mia's statement was not an acceptance but a statement of intent; Irina's agreement was voided when Ezra sold the book to Diego, indicating he considered the apartment clean enough; and Tam had not provided consideration to require Ezra to hold the book for her.
