Wally owns 200 acres of land. Wally offers to sell the land to Robert for $1,500 per acre. Robert replies that he does not need 200 acres of land but would like to buy 40 acres at $1,500 per acre. Wally agrees to sell but does not identify which 40 acres. Later, Wally refuses to sell any land to Robert. What is the result?

A. Robert wins; this is an enforceable contract with complete and definite terms.
B. Robert wins; the UCC will decide which 40 acres are to be sold.
C. Wally wins; the original offer was not intended to be an offer but merely an invitation to negotiate.
D. Wally wins; this agreement is too indefinite since it does not identify which 40 acres are to be sold.
