Maroone offers to sell Sophie, who is seventeen years of age, a car about which Rally intentionally misrepresents several material facts. In reliance on the misrepresentations, Sophie buys the car. To prove fraud in this transaction, Sophie would have to show that:

A. Maroone intentionally deceived Sophie
B. Sophie does not know anything about cars
C. Maroone made statements that were obviously exaggerated
D. Sophie is under eighteen years of age

To prove fraud in this transaction, Sophie would have to show that Maroone intentionally deceived her, hence the correct option is A) Maroone intentionally deceived Sophie.

Explanation:

Fraud involves intentional deception, and for Sophie to establish fraud in this transaction, she must demonstrate that Maroone intentionally deceived her (Option A). Intentional misrepresentations of material facts, made with the purpose of inducing another party to act, are key elements of fraud.

Options B, C, and D are not essential elements of fraud. Sophie's knowledge about cars (Option B) or the obviousness of the exaggerations (Option C) does not negate the possibility of fraud if intentional deception is proven. Sophie's age (Option D) may have legal implications for the contract, but it is not directly related to proving fraud; the critical factor is Maroone's intent to deceive.
