Kathleen Weber · Answer 1

c. may be estopped from denying that Dee had authority.

Explanation:

Bluto made a mistake by allowing Dee to have his authority and also act on his behalf. Furthermore, Dee took a payment from the client and ran away with the money without performing any duty. This shows that Dee is not sincere and has committed fraud. In the absence of Dee, Bluto is liability to any criminal act conducted by Dee.
