b. shortened the time of the offer but did not terminate it.
c. extended the time of the offer.
d. terminated the offer.

Answer:

Casey's death most likely terminated the offer to sell the forklift.

If Casey offers to sell a certain used forklift to DIY Lumber Outlet, but Casey dies before DIY accepts, the most likely legal outcome is that Casey's death terminated the offer. In contract law, an offer is a definite proposal or undertaking made by one party (the offeror) to another (the offeree), indicating a willingness to enter into a contract on certain specified terms. The death or incapacity of the offeror is a specific event that typically results in the termination of the offer because the offeror can no longer consent to the formation of the contract. This principle is grounded in the understanding that a contract is an agreement based on mutual consent, which cannot be given by a deceased person.
