Albert read Gem City's ad in the local newspaper advertising a one-quarter carat diamond ring for $89. Albert rushed to the store to buy the ring, only to be told by the salesperson that the ad was a misprint and the price should have been $289.

A) the ad is a firm offer by the merchant, and the ring must be sold for $89.
B) the ad is a contract and the store must abide by terms stated in the contract.
C) the store must accept the price stated in the ad, but only if Albert has a copy of the ad with him.
D) Albert is merely making an offer to Gem City to buy the ring for $89 plus sales tax.
