    D

    Explanation:

    Esther and Salim are liable as they are promoters of Kale Inc.

    The reason being that promoters most ot the time are held liable on contracts they make on behalf of corporations that are not yet formed. If the corporation has never been formed, or if it fails to adopt the promoter's preincorporation agreement, the promoter is liable. This law is kmown or is a popular agency law that any agent who makes a contract for a principallt that is not yet in existance is personally liable for it. If more than one promoter was involved in this contract making, they are all liable under a joint enterprise theory.
