    Correct answer is d. (not avoid the contract because persons are assumed to know the law.

    To put it in legal terms: ignorantia legis neminem excusat, which is latin for "ignorance of the law excuses no one". This also known as the main principle of jurisprudence: we are all bound to the law even if we don't know it (neither if we ignore this particular principle).
