Correct answer: A) An arrangement between a husband and wife living together about household spending money

Explanation

Domestic and social arrangements are presumed not to be legally binding (Balfour v Balfour). The presumption may be rebutted, for example where spouses have separated and record their agreement (Merritt v Merritt). Commercial agreements, including those between employer and employee, are presumed to be legally binding unless clearly stated otherwise.
