What is an injunction in legal terms?

  1. A promise made by one party to another to do something

  2. An event outside of the control of the parties to a contract making the contract impossible to perform

  3. A court order that prohibits a party from doing something or acting in a certain manner

  4. The offeror and offeree in a contract

The correct answer is: A court order that prohibits a party from doing something or acting in a certain manner

An injunction is a type of court order that prohibits an individual from taking a specific action or behaving in a certain way. Option A is incorrect because it refers to a promise made between parties, rather than a court order. Option B is incorrect because it describes a situation that would make a contract impossible to perform, rather than an injunction. Option D is incorrect because it refers to the parties involved in a contract, rather than a legal term. Only option C accurately describes what an injunction is in legal terms.
