Correct Answer
B. Unlawful constraint forcing a person to act against his or her will
AI Explanation
Duress concerns unlawful pressure, not ordinary persuasion. In the booklet's "Definitions and General Terms," duress is defined as unlawful constraint exercised upon a person whereby he is forced to do some act against his will. For contrast, "consideration" concerns value exchanged in a contract, not coercion.
