The five essential elements of contract formation include

  1. Agreement, consideration, inducement, legality, and assurance

  2. Agreement, consideration, legality, warranty, and objective

  3. Agreement, consideration, capacity, legality, and performance

  4. Agreement, consideration, contingency, legality, and treble damages

The correct answer is: Agreement, consideration, capacity, legality, and performance

The other options are incorrect because they either include elements that are not essential for contract formation, such as inducement, warranty, objective, or treble damages, or they are missing an essential element, such as capacity or performance. Agreement refers to the mutual understanding and acceptance of the terms of the contract, consideration refers to the exchange of something of value between the parties, legality ensures that the contract is lawful and not against public policy, and performance refers to the fulfillment of the obligations outlined in the contract. Without all of these elements, a contract cannot be legally formed.
