D) The court will rule that they had an implied contract. Olivia will win.

Explanation:

An implied contract is the contract that happened between two parties with their mutual understanding but there any written contract between these parties. There are two types of implied contract:

Implied at contract:

it always creates an obligation between two parties as that is based on the situation and facts.

Implied at law:

It creates the obligation between two parties based on the situation an facts.

But for safety purposes, a person always uses a written contract and a written contract is not enforceable but with the agreement of both the parties. Oral law is always an enforceable contract.
