Thabo and Hlapo conclude a written contract of loan. When they
initially discussed the contract, the idea was that the loan would
be repayable only after three years. However, the written document
expressly provides for immediate repayment of the loan if Thabo
requests it. Assuming that Thabo will not invoke this term, Hlapo
signs the contract. Two months later, Thabo calls up the loan with
immediate effect.

Which ONE of the following statements
reflects the CORRECT legal position?
a.
The parol evidence rule prevents Hlapo from relying on the oral
agreement and she is obliged to repay the loan immediately.
b.
Hlapo is entitled to apply for the rectification of the written
contract.
c.
Hlapo can rely on the oral agreement between herself and Thabo
and can refuse to repay the loan immediately.
d.
Thabo has committed breach of contract by calling up the loan
and Hlapo can claim damages.
