Answer 2

Answer:

Gratuitous contract

Explanation:

• The word 'gratuitous' means 'free of cost'.
• Hence, a gratuitous contract is one that is carried out for the benefit of only one of the parties, the other party receives nothing in consideration.
• Gratuitous contracts are unilateral as they benefit only one person as opposed to normal contracts that are bilateral.  
• For example- donating to charity is also an example of a gratuitous contract.
• In the above example, A carries out the deed of saving B's goods. However, he receives no compensation for doing so and he also has no right to demand for any such compensation.
• Hence, the above contract is an example of a gratuitous contract.
