Explanation
Answer: B. Substantive unconscionability occurs when the contract terms are excessively oppressive, while procedural unconscionability occurs when there were inequities during contract formation. If a court finds that a contract is substantively or procedurally unconscionable, it may refuse to enforce it or refuse to enforce the unconscionable terms. Section 2-302 of the UCC contains provisions on unconscionability with respect to contracts that are subject to the UCC.
